Three Daines Bills One Step Closer to Becoming Law

Press Release

“The Bull Mountains Mine near Roundup, Montana, provides over 250 Montanans with high paying jobs and great benefits. In fact the average salary is $135,000 a year. The mine is also the lifeblood of Musselshell County, not only providing jobs but hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the local community. Unfortunately, because of government inaction and continuous delays, the mine is on the verge of closing if we do not take action today.

America is a global leader in science and technology, and hundreds of Montanans work hard every day to move forward on quantum research and technology. I’m happy to see progress on reviewing our bipartisan DOE Quantum Energy Act, which will accelerate quantum research, increase our national security, and bolster our economy both in Montana and across the nation.

This legislation will provide much-needed housing relief to Montanans who are living paycheck to paycheck as a result of the Biden-Harris administration’s sky-high inflation. By prioritizing National Park Service workforce housing and supporting local gateway communities, we are one step closer towards addressing the housing shortage both in Montana and across the U.S.”
