This week, we talked about how to use the Montana Legislature website and what tools MEIC has to make participating in the session easier for you. We also talked a bit about how to write and give public comment, how to write and give public testimony, and best tips for writing LTEs and op-eds. *Correction in the video – the incinerator bill is SB 39* Join us on Thursdays at 4:30 pm to learn about important environmental bills and more in the 2023 Montana Legislative Session.
