Prepare Montana for Drought — Stop Relying on Prayer

To: Rep. Hinkle, Gov. Gianforte, Sen. Vance

From: A verified voter in Belgrade, MT

May 19

Montana is facing intensifying drought conditions, and your response was a Facebook post asking people to pray. That's not leadership — that's abdication. The forecast was already predicting rain when you made that post. Montanans need a governor who is preparing the state for worsening climate conditions, not performing faith on social media. Drought is not a spiritual problem with a spiritual solution. It's a water management, agricultural policy, and infrastructure problem that demands real action. I want to see a concrete plan: drought resilience funding, water conservation policy, and support for ranchers and farmers who are already absorbing the financial hit. The time to build that framework is before the next dry season, not during it.
