Governor Gianforte Blasts Federal Agencies for Inaction on Flathead Lake

Statement

"The drought in the Flathead Valley is a serious issue that requires serious solutions, and I'm disappointed and frustrated that the Technical Management Team isn't shooting straight on this. Last week, I asked federal officials for formal analysis to support a potential request for a release from the Hungry Horse Project, and I haven't gotten it. Ultimately, the federal agencies which oversee the Hungry Horse Project have the data and authority to make an informed decision, and I urge them to use that to act instead of punting their responsibility."
