Gianforte suggests MT follow Republicans’ national lead on economic policy
HELENA – Montana’s Republican congressman, Greg Gianforte, told state lawmakers Monday the national economy is booming because of policies by Republicans and President Trump – and that perhaps Montana should take “a page from our national pro-growth playbook.”
Gianforte – who’s also mentioned as a possible gubernatorial candidate in 2020 – said Montana should strive to keep taxes low and regulations minimal.
“Government does not create prosperity,” he said. “The private sector does. … Government should and must create an environment where businesses can grow and thrive. We must continue working to get government out of the way, so that all Montanans and Americans can prosper again.”
Also on Monday, a Democratic state lawmaker introduced a bill that takes an indirect swipe at Gianforte.
