Saying Gov. Greg Gianforte wants to “have some change in philosophy” at the Fish and Wildlife Commission, the Senate Fish and Game Committee on Thursday voted not to advance Glasgow
Two large conservation easements approved by the Fish and Wildlife Commission last Thursday drew fire for different reasons. This points to the difficulties of negotiating large agreements that benefit public access as well as landowners.
Such agreements in the future will be in the hands of a new Fish, Wildlife & Parks director and fresh leadership in the governorâs office and Legislature.
Whatâs more, the terms of three members of the Fish and Wildlife Commission expire at the end of the year and one member resigned this fall. Glasgow resident Andrew McKean was appointed to fill Logan Brower s term. McKean will face Senate confirmation. That means Gov.-elect Greg Gianforte can name three â possibly four if McKean s nomination is rejected â people to the five-member board.Â
