Guest view: Montana’s small businesses and employees deserve better
As a small business owner who signs the front of paychecks, I understand what it’s like to stay awake at night with a pit in your stomach worrying if you’re able to keep your employees on payroll during hard times.
For the past three months, Montana’s job creators have experienced this economic anxiety.
Instead of helping, Governor Bullock has imposed more worry on these employees and employers. Without consulting cities or counties, the governor issued a top-down, one-size-fits-all statewide economic shutdown in March, ultimately forcing many small businesses to close permanently.
