Every now and then people are willing to sit across the table from one another and make compromises that benefit a wide variety of folks. Sen. Jon Tester did Montana a big favor on July 17 by drafting his “Forest Jobs and Recreations Act” that says he honors that kind of cooperation. The Forest Service plan that was the backbone of this legislation was the hard, thoughtful work of many people including hunters, anglers, motorized users, conservationists, loggers and mill and wood workers. It was this level of diversity that caught the attention of Sen. Tester. Not only do I respect that kind of leadership, it is exactly the politician that Jon promised to be when he took office. Thanks for listening to us.
