Greg Gianforte: “So, reducing fuel loads, doing preparation actually reduces the intensity and the severity of the fires?”

You have delivered a thoughtful, serious and practical report that addresses that question and confirms that Montana is well-positioned to lead.

You want wages to go up faster than inflation, but I don’t want to minimize at all the affordability issues.

We’re asking all Montanans to follow all necessary precautions and take the evacuation warnings and orders from local law enforcement seriously.

Because of our policies, basically letting people keep more of what they earn, getting rid of excessive regulations, we’re one of only two states where wage growth has actually exceeded inflation over the last five years.
