The American Prairie Reserve will attract thousands of tourists to Montana to see native animals including Bison on Montana native rangeland. Tourism has attracted more than 12 million people to Montana each year. Residents of north-central Montana have often complained that they don’t share the wealth of tourism with Western Montana counties. Here is a chance to put your mark on Montana tourism. A buck spent to see a bear is worth no more than a buck spent to see a Bison.

The APR bison plan is good for the land, good for the community and great for Montana. The Montana Legislature should stand with science and freedom and against big government central planning socialism by rejecting HJR28.

Brian Schweitzer is the former governor of Montana.
