## Resource

Congressman Ryan Zinke is racing against the clock to pass his bold new bill, the A River Runs Through It Act, before Congress adjourns and his term ends. Named after the iconic Montana story, this landmark proposal seeks to resolve a decades-long land-use debate by designating 180,000 acres for forest restoration and logging while setting aside 60,000 acres for recreation like snowmobiling and mountain biking — a rare compromise between preservationists and commercial interests. Surprisingly, it’s drawing support from unlikely allies: snowmobile clubs, wilderness advocates, and local communities — even former Interior Secretaries from both parties. With just 40 days left and no reelection plans, Zinke hopes to attach the bill to a larger legislative package later this year, building on past efforts like Senator Jon Tester’s work. He’s betting on bipartisan momentum to make history — and time is running out. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
