Greg Gianforte, who founded a high-technology business that employs Montanans at excellent wages, today works on a project known as BetterMontanaJobs.com. He e-mailed in a blog post in which he discusses his travels to promote good jobs at high wages in the technology sector.
"I have met some great folks," said Gianforte in his statement. "My message centered on how to create better jobs in every community and lift Montana out of 49th position in national wages."
In the blog post, Gianforte described how, when he and his wife moved to Bozeman, "People told us that it was not possible to create a global business here." He said sceptics of high tech industry in Montana cited lack of capital, lack of workers, and poor air and Internet service.
Today, Gianforte writes, the skeptics still rely on the same excuses why it can't be done. "My message is clear," he said. "Our success at RightNow is repeatable right here in your community."
