Two Reasons Why Seeley Lake Won't be Forced into A Central Sewer

SEELEY LAKE - Sewer board members have been yelling “wolf” telling residents the federal and state government will force us to put in a central sewer if we don’t approve this present proposal. That is wrong...here are two reasons why:

1. Donald Trump has publicly promised he will force the federal EPA to pull back on excessive environmental mandates and with a republican-controlled congress he just might get that job done.

2. Montana state law (MCA 1-2-112) says if the legislature enacts a mandate to a local government it must provide a funding source for that mandate.

Sewer district residents, water quality in Seeley Lake has not changed appreciably in 30 years...though it is not particularly improving either.

Your vote against the $20-million sewer bond issue Nov. 23 will force local authorities to come up with a reasonable and affordable plan for protecting our waters.
