Greg's
Treasure
State
Update
Happy
New
Year!
After
a
busy
2017
in
the
U.S.
House
of
Representatives
with
a
focus
on
issues
important
to
our
state,
I'm
optimistic
about
what
we
can
accomplish
in
the
new
year.
My
priorities
are
clear.
I
will
continue
putting
Montana
first,
defending
our
country,
and
standing
up
for
our
rights.
Priorities
for
2018
Putting
Montana
First:
Last
year,
I
voted
to
bring
tax
relief
to
hardworking
Montanans
and
secured
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
for
wildfire
disaster
relief.
In
2018,
I'll
continue
putting
Montana
first
and
protecting
our
way
of
life.
I'll
also
continue
working
to
rein
in
abuses
of
the
Endangered
Species
Act.
The
law
was
meant
to
preserve
and
recover
endangered
wildlife,
a
cause
I'm
committed
to.
But
it
has
been
twisted
from
its
original
purpose
into
a
tool
for
unnecessary,
frivolous
lawsuits.
And
I'll
remain
focused
on
cleaning
up
Washington
with
term
limits,
a
ban
on
members
of
Congress
lobbying,
and
a
balanced
budget.

Defending
Our
Country:
Last
year,
I
voted
to
increase
our
troops'
pay,
strengthen
our
armed
forces,
and
provide
better
care
for
our
veterans.
But
danger
from
North
Korea,
ISIS,
and
Iran
continues
to
threaten
our
nation's
security.
I
will
keep
the
military,
our
veterans,
and
the
security
of
our
nation
at
the
very
top
of
my
priority
list
for
2018.
Standing
up
for
Our
Rights:
In
2017,
I
worked
to
reduce
federal
overreach,
whether
it
was
on
our
farms
and
ranches,
at
our
rural
hospitals,
or
with
our
Second
Amendment
rights.
This
year,
I
will
continue
working
to
preserve
access
to
public
lands,
defend
our
constitutional
rights,
and
limit
the
size
and
scope
of
Washington.

MT
in
DC
It
was
great
welcoming
members
of
the
Montana
Association
of
Counties
(MACo)
to
Washington
recently.
We
discussed
issues
important
to
all
Montanans,
including
PILT
(Payment
in
Lieu
of
Taxes)
and
the
Secure
Rural
Schools
program.
If
you,
your
family,
or
your
organization
are
planning
a
trip
to
Washington,
I
hope
you’ll
contact
me
so
we
can
help
you
with
tours
of
the
Capitol,
the
White
House,
and
other
landmarks.
I’d
also
like
to
visit
with
you
and
talk
about
issues
important
to
you.
