Following our exchange during the recent Air Force Budget Posture Hearing before the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, I am particularly concerned about the timing of this project's planned inclusion in the Air Force's fiscal year 2023 Military Construction (MILCON) plan. At the time of the Great Falls, Montana conversion from F-15 aircraft to C-130 aircraft, the ramp was not adequate, but it was within acceptable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. Recently modified FAA parameters make the parking situation for the unit's eight C- 130 aircraft on the existing ramp particularly difficult. The Air National Guard (ANG) has expressed the best way to resolve and alleviate this impediment is to construct additional ramp space.

  • 2015 Legislative Report & Scorecard
    2015 Legislative Report & Scorecard PROPERTY RIGHTS HEROES Property Rights in the 2015 Legislative Session Special recognition for the outstanding champions of Free-roaming bison remain biggest threat to Montana landowners property rights in 2015 For the second session in a row, a strong, bipartisan coalition of legislators passed a bill to give county governments a say in whether free-roaming bison could be unleashed in their jurisdictions, and for the second session in a row Governor Bullock vetoed that bill. Without SB 284 (Sen. Brenden, R-Scobey), the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks believes it has the authority to transfer Yellowstone Park bison to unfenced public land in Eastern Montana. From there, bison could roam onto private property, where landowners will be expected to absorb the cost of any property damage or disease transmission that may occur. Attempts to force public access on private roads intensify UPOM led the charge to defeat two bills intended to force public access on private roads. HB 286 (Rep. Jacobson, D-Great Falls) would have provided that a road subject to a legal dispute is assumed to be public property until it is adjudicated. Sen. Debby Barrett, Dillon Of course, the bill would have created a perverse incentive for access groups, Senator Barrett served this year attorneys, and individuals to challenge the status of any road they wanted access as President of the Senate. She’s served 16 years in the legislature to and enjoying the free ride for years while the question worked its way through and has been a staunch defender the court.

  • Final 2019 Legislative Report
    MONTANA LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS Tim Burton, Executive Director Kelly A. Lynch, Deputy Director/General Counsel 2019 Montana State Legislature Final Report The 2019 legislative session adjourned on Thursday, April 25, 2019. The League tracked and actively lobbied more than 150 bills that affected Montana municipalities. In last few weeks of the legislative session, there were multiple attempts to raid entitlement share payments and shift other costs to cities and towns that would have resulted in cuts to local general fund revenues. Together with our partners and the help of many local elected officials and municipal staff, we were successful in stopping these pieces of legislation. REVENUE AND FINANCE Tracking Level - Support Passed Bill# Title Sponsor Status HB 0052 Revise funding for various economic development programs Jim Keane Chapter Number Assigned Staff Summary: This is the administration's economic development funding bill. It reauthorizes several OTO and sunsetting EcoDevo programs at Commerce. As amended, it defunds the Board of Research and Commercialization and repeals the program entirely, and transfers those funds directly to Dept of Agriculture's marketing program, increases funding to Ag's Growth through Agriculture program, and increases Commerce's appropriations for the small business development center, the regional CRDCs, and the MSU manufacturing extension center. As amended, the sunset on the programs is 8 years. The League joined MEDA, Governor's Office, the Department of Commerce, and MACo in support. HB 0411 Revise laws related to AIS expenditures and funding Willis Curdy Chapter Number Assigned Staff Summary: As amended, this bill requires a $10 AIS prevention pass on nonmotorized boats and $30 on motorized boats operating in Montana for funding the state's aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention program.
