Nat. Monument Panel Hosted in Lewistown Fri.

by

Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, will host a panel discussion on public transparency and property rights in the wake of secret discussions by the Department of Interior (DOI) to designate millions of acres in Montana as National Monuments.

The event will take place Friday, August 20, at 3:00 p.m., at the Lewistown Civic Center, 309 5th Avenue South in Lewistown, MT.  It will include land owners, public officials, and other stakeholders from the areas under consideration for monument designation.  It will also include stake holders involved in the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument designation, which was a controversial federal land grab created by executive order in the last days of the Clinton Administration.
