Gov. Brian Schweitzer revived the Stream Access bill this week, amending a bill that would increase funding for bridge repair.
The governor said if the state was fixing the bridges, citizens better have access.
“My proposed amendment would ensure that expenditures of money from the county road and bridge capital improvement fund are spent on county roads and bridges that are in compliance with Montana law as it concerns the public’s right of access to Montana’s rivers and streams,” Schweitzer wrote in his amendatory veto letter.

Rob, maybe you could comment on why this is characterized in the media as a Demo-Rep issue? Obviously the Dems want to push the bill through while the Repubs want to study it to death. Below is a quote from the Gov. Kuddos to Shweitzer for standing up for our rights;
“People who live in Montana know what a fence looks like to keep cattle in,” Schweitzer adds. “There’s not a whole lot more to study.”
