Opinion | Letter Gianforte will be the governor we need to move policies forward that will benefit the people of Montana By Gordon Vance // Nov 16, 2019 I have known Greg Gianforte for many years. I spent over 40 years in the private sector in the Gallatin Valley. During that time I dealt with a number of very successful business owners. Greg Gianforte was among them.

I have known Greg Gianforte for many years. I spent over 40 years in the private sector in the Gallatin Valley. During that time I dealt with a number of very successful business owners. Greg Gianforte was among them. I have always felt that, given the opportunity, a great business person would be the best leader for our nation and for the state of Montana. Republicans in the Montana State Legislature need help from the governor’s office to move the peoples’ agenda forward.

Every Montana legislative session has at least one “Colstrip Bill” that is surrounded by controversy. The 2019 session is no different. The narrative regarding SB 331, the Montana Energy Security Act (MESA), has been inaccurately skewed by groups who are ideologically opposed to the use of fossil fuels, even though they know Montana’s energy needs cannot be met by alternative sources.
