Democratic candidate Kathleen Williams and U.S. Senator Jon Tester are looking forward to visiting about next steps to secure necessary funding for rehabilitating the St. Mary/Milk River project at the Blaine County Democratic Spaghetti Dinner this Sunday, October 21, at Wallner Hall in Chinook. The event is scheduled to begin at 5 P.M.

Both Tester and Williams participated in a call-in discussion with the members of the St. Mary/Milk River Working Group on October 10th, as did their competitors in this year’s election. Kathleen Williams discussed her early work as a state employee, and then later as a State Representative, aligning the State of Montana solidly in support of the rehabilitation project. As a State Senator, Jon Tester also was part of those early efforts, and as a United States Senator, Tester has been at the forefront of the continuing efforts, and at the request of the Working Group, has agreed to introduce the bill to change the matching funds requirements to a ratio more favorable to water users along the Milk River.

Several other candidates will be joining Tester and Williams at the dinner. Please make plans to attend this interesting and informative event.
