Rehberg Report
Last week, Montana’s sitting Republican Congressman Denny Rehberg cosponsored legislation to increase pay for American troops. He said, “Montanans are rightfully proud of our men and women in the military, and fairly compensating them for their sacrifice is one of my top priorities,”
He also cosponsored a bill to protect veterns from losing their benefits in the event of an insurance reimbursement, a billto protect Montanans from certain flood insurance premium increases, and a bill to give Montana contractors more time to meet a federal deadline about lead in old buildings.
