In Big Sky State, Montana officials market big opportunities
When North Carolina’s governor signed a measure blocking its largest city from enacting an anti-discrimination law, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock tweeted out a message from across the plains: “Dear North Carolina: We’re open for business …for everyone. Sincerely Montana.”
The tweet not only affirmed the Democratic governor’s support of gay and lesbian rights, but it also underscored — albeit cheekily — his administration’s efforts to draw attention from investors and entrepreneurs.
Bullock’s tweet, which has been shared more than a thousand times across the Internet, was followed by the hashtag #ChooseMontana.
