The federal commission finds no fault with SKQ dam operations!?
(source: Flathead Beacon)
At the Pachyderm meeting in Polson February 9, community members weighed in: this cannot be allowed to stand. An appeal was made to anyone who has suffered any kind of injury – whether financial, property, or bodily – to write letters with any available proof (including photos) to elected officials. For suggestions, see SaveFlatheadLake.com.
Be sure to also send a copy of your letter to the warriors at SaveFlatheadLake.com, so they can document all that has been done.
The Honorable Debbie Anne Reese
Secretary, U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

05 May 2023 What does the CSKT Fishery have to do with water rights?
Posted 3 February 2023
SECURE YOUR WATER RIGHTS!!
All Montana residents need to be informed about the looming threat to their water rights. There is a group of people in Lake County who are working hard to help all residents of western Montana to understand what they need to do as individuals to protect the water rights associated with their property.Predictably the process to file an objection, as determined by the Montana Water Court, is filled with “gotchas” that could cause your objection to be “disregarded.” If you value your water rights and you want those rights to pass with your property when you sell or leave it to your heirs, find out what you need to do to fight this potential theft.There will be three educational forums in Lake County on the dates shown below. All three forums will be the same presentation of facts and information designed to help as many landowners as possible, and the information presented applies throughout Montana.by Linda Sauer |
