Conrad Burns Bill would Grant rights to water users in Selway

[shoots-straight]

Senate Bill 2633, proposed by Senator Conrad Burns of Montana, would grant rights to water users, right of ways up to, 120 feet to access each of the 17wilderness dams, inside the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness Area.
The Water Cooperative groups that own the dams helped shape the Bill.
It would also give them a 500' right of way around the lakes without compensation to the public. They would be allowed to use motorized equipment to reach the damns and do maintance bring in supplies ect.
The Bill would allow the damn owners the right to build a structure within the 500' of the lake, and they would'nt be held liable for activity that arises from the owners' negligence.

Their toting the Bill as a win win for Montana.

Just wondering what you sportsmen and woman think about this next attemp to privatize our heritage.:BLEEP:

I think Conrad's proposal blows.....and will never get passed.

So why do I get the feeling that this is all about the ski hill? How much do you think the money behind the ski hill is kicking in to Conrad's campaign? And I haven't heard from Max about the ski hill either.

Very easily could be, I not much on conspiracy theories, as you know, but considering the fact that McClay has the water rights to Carlton lake, that would open the door to more development on Lolo pk and the lake, also make that road he punched in legit.

How's he going to deal with forest service as they didn't change their forest plan to suit him.......

Also I know that the investers on the project lent money to god to build the Grand Canyon.

I will say this, corruption is at all levels in our gov. Conrad did recieve a but load of money and this might be one of the things that he got money for.
