Edith McClafferty | | Political Party: D | | House District 75 |
1. What is your view of the 2004 Attorney General Opinion regarding access to streams from county road bridges ?
Montana streams and rivers belong to everyone not a selected few.
2. In your opinion are public property rights important - often as important as private property rights?
Yes, especially when it comes to access. No private sector should be allowed to keep the public off any public property.
3. Do you believe the state should be allowed to acquire water rights sufficient to allow major streams to function as natural aquatic systems?
Yes
4. Are you familiar with and do you support the Public Trust Doctrine?
I am not familiar with the Public Trust Doctrine. I would like to visit with someone about the Public Trust Doctrine.
5. Should we consider the sale of water in Montana’s rivers to be moved out of state?
NO
6. Should the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks remain the sole decision maker for the allocation of licenses and permits that determine who may legally hunt and harvest Montana wildlife ?
Yes
7. What should be done to reduce elk populations that exceed optimum numbers as defined in current management plans?
Road closers in over populated areas should be re-opened. Many of Montana’s licensed hunters are at the age that they physically cannot drag downed animals. Open roads means more hunters, which equals a better harvest. An open road for retrieval of downed games is also an option.
