Vincent, Chas

Sen. Chas Vincent, R-Libby, introduces Senate Bill 262 to the Senate Judiciary Committee at the State Capitol in Helena, Mont. Senate Bill 262 would delineate certain water rights to the tribes on the Flathead Indian Reservation while the oversight of an irrigation project that many non-tribal farmers and ranchers rely on in northwestern Montana would remain in the hands of its current operator.
