From the Desk of Jim Brown, Public Affairs Week One of The
From the desk of Jim Brown, Public Affairs Week one of the Legislature is in the books and there have been some developments. To wit: 1. The Governor made nominations for the positions of head of FWP and Department of Agriculture; a) For FWP, the Governor nominated University of Montana law professor Martha Williams. Based on Williams’ long environmental record, she is not going to be friendly to landowners, and may be the worst director yet for our interests. b) For Dept. of AG, the Governor nominated Ben Thomas, a former U.S. Department of Agriculture employee and a former Baucus staffer. The other ag groups seem to think he will be an adequate director. The story is linked here: http://missoulian.com/news/government-and-politics/gov-bullock-announces-more-cabinet- appointments/article_887184c3-a107-5f12-a800-a36831ba6498.html 2. MWGA’s livestock loss bill is up for hearing this coming week. As you will recall, in the 2013 legislative session, MWGA secured general fund monies to fund the livestock loss board. Prior to our efforts, the livestock loss board was struggling financially, relying primarily on grants to carry out its mission. However, the authorization for the funding expires as of June 30, 2017. It’s hard to believe that four years have passed, and it is time for MWGA to work to renew this important source of funding. But, that is where we are. Our bill, SB 73, will be heard in the Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday at 3:00PM. I am optimistic that it will make it through the Legislature; whether it makes it across the Governor’s desk is another matter. -
