The CSKT Compact that was approved by the 2015 Montana Legislature has become the most divisive issue that I have seen in my six decades of involvement.
A hearing was held by the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on S 3019, CSKT on 6-24-20. Well, it was more of a sales pitch than a hearing, as no opposing views were allowed.
The 1400-page bill violates Montana’s Constitution and infringes on water and property rights.
Senator Daines, the prime sponsor, has been unwilling to host any public hearings in Montana so the people could weigh in.
Montanans should request that the Committee on Indian Affairs schedule hearings in Montana no later than September.
US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
Hon John Hoeven, Chrm
338 Russell Senate Office Bldg
Washington DC 20510
