1. What is your view of the 2004 Attorney General Opinion regarding access to streams from county road bridges ?
I support the Attorney's General completely.
2. In your opinion are public property rights important - often as important as private property rights?
They are important and in certain cases can be as important as private property rights.
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, provided the state adequately compensates any affected owners.
4. Are you familiar with and do you support the Public Trust Doctrine?
Yes, and I do support it. It supports the idea that resources should be used for the public good primarily.

Not when we have concerns over having enough water to provide for irrigation and wildlife habitat here in Montana.
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?
Increase the harvest size.
