The qualify of life we enjoy in Montana is directly connected to the public investments we make in our communities — modern schools and quality education for our children, safe roads, updated water and sewer systems, and an affordable college education for our future workforce.

We were pleased to see that President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order on directing the EPA to reconsider an Obama-era rule that expanded federal jurisdiction over streams and wetlands. This rule has caused excessive e...
