As Greg Gianforte continues to bet against Montana and its strong economy under Governor Steve Bullock, the Bullock campaign released another misleading claim from Gianforte as part of its #WhopperWednesdays series.
This Wednesday’s “whopper” shows Gianforte misleading Montanans again about suing the people of Montana to block public stream access on his property.
In a tele-townhall meeting on Monday, Gianforte said: “I’ve never sued to end stream access on our property.”
This whopper from Gianforte ignores all evidence to the contrary.
Here is Greg Gianforte listed as the principle of the East Gallatin LLC, and here is the lawsuit he filed against the people of Montana to block access to a stream on his property.
