众议员唐宁发声：悼念殉职副警长并推动克劳部落供水立法
蒙大拿州大角县克劳部落保留地地区，代表蒙大拿州的联邦众议员特洛伊·唐宁11月1日在社交平台上谈及该州水基础设施立法，强调要给蒙大拿州各社区灵活处理供水项目需求的空间，其中包括专门面向克劳部落的立法。唐宁写道，他在国会把这件事列为优先事项，克劳部落立法以按各社区量身定制水项目的自由，取代「一刀切」的做法，以解决长期存在的水资源获取与基础设施难题。
就在前一天，10月31日，唐宁还发文悼念一名殉职的执法人员。他写道，为特普斯马副警长的家人祈祷，永远感激他的服务以及所有蒙大拿州执法人员作出的牺牲。
水资源获取与基础设施长期以来是蒙大拿州部落和乡村社区的关键关切。克劳部落水权和解法案已于2010年由国会通过，是处理相关挑战、赋予部落更多地方资源管理权的一系列努力的一部分。唐宁表示，新的立法思路是让各社区自行制定适合自身的水项目，而不是套用统一模式。有关法案的具体条文与推进时间表，仍以国会正式记录为准。

Rep. Downing Speaks Out: Mourning a Fallen Deputy Sheriff While Pushing Crow Tribe Water Legislation
In the Crow Tribe reservation area of Big Horn County, Montana, U.S. Representative Troy Downing, who represents Montana, wrote on social media on November 1 about water infrastructure legislation for the state, stressing flexibility for Montana communities to meet their water project needs, including legislation specifically for the Crow Tribe. Downing wrote that he has made the issue a priority in Congress and that the Crow Tribe legislation replaces a "one-size-fits-all" approach with freedom for each community to tailor water projects, addressing long-standing problems of water access and infrastructure.
The day before, on October 31, Downing also posted a tribute to a fallen law enforcement officer, writing that he was praying for Deputy Tepsma's family and would always be grateful for his service and for the sacrifices of all Montana law enforcement officers.
Water access and infrastructure have long been key concerns for tribal and rural communities in Montana. The Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act was passed by Congress in 2010 as part of a series of efforts to address those challenges and give tribes more control over local resources. Downing said the new legislative approach is to let communities design water projects that fit their own needs rather than applying a uniform model. The bill's specific text and timetable remain subject to the official congressional record.
