CSKT potentially damaging to Montana

Volumes have been written about how the 2015 Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) water compact is unconstitutional, costly, and sets in motion risky laws based on unprecedented new policies.  These policies will be very destructive to Montanan’s for generations to come.

These claims are in my opinion very weak if not totally non-existing.
