Rehberg Statement on Montana Wilderness Bill Being Included in $1.1 Trillion Omnibus

Denny Rehberg Wednesday, December 15, 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg released the following statement upon confirming that a new version of Senator Tester’s Wilderness Bill was added to the 1,924-page $1.1 trillion Omnibus Appropriations Bill. Rehberg hosted 22 public meetings specifically about this legislation across the impacted region. He posted the comments and ideas he heard in the “Transparency Center” portion of his congressional website.

“This is government at its worst. Montanans have had zero input on this new wilderness bill. It hasn't even had a public hearing in Congress. What's more, Senator Tester is jamming his unpopular bill into yet another trillion dollar spending bill jam packed with pork. These are exactly the sort of underhanded tactics the American people rejected in November. Apparently, the message didn’t get through. There’s not enough time to read this bill, let alone seek out public input. This is nothing but a shameful attempt to force-feed Montanans another dose of big-government before the clock runs out on the Pelosi regime.”
