Montana Should Set Goals for Long-Term, Sustainable Growth

It’s easy to be a pessimist these days when you hear about job losses, bailouts and other bad economic news. Many Montanans are starting to feel the real effects of this worldwide fiscal downturn.

Montana, however, is actually doing better than the rest of the country. At the moment, it looks like we may be one of only a handful of states where our state government does not have massive deficits. Our unemployment level is lower, our foreclosure rate is lower and many of our businesses are in a better position to weather this storm compared to others in the country.

You can view the Montana Prosperity Plan at the Montana Chamber Web site (http://www.montanachamber.com). Then, contact your legislator and let them know that you want them to support more job creation, more responsible resource development, and to support business in our state.
