Something's Rotten in Montana's Dept. of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

- Abstract
The article discusses concerns about the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks and its handling of environmental issues. Dr. Eileen Ryce, the Administrator of the Fisheries Division, was placed on administrative leave after releasing a report on toxic substances in fish in certain rivers. The report recommended not eating the fish due to high levels of carcinogens. Ryce also raised concerns about the number of private ponds being permitted, which could introduce invasive species and diseases into state waters. The article criticizes the administration for suppressing the truth and prioritizing economic interests over environmental protection.
