I wish them all the luck in the world with bringing new business to the Flathead, but we all know how much the people here do not accept “new” business and the Governing officials make it just as difficult. Another slogan came to mind “Poverty with a view”. Yes it is pretty here, but there are equally attractive places all over the country with a better economic climate that welcomes slow growth, new business and out of town folk. I love it here and will never leave, but I feel sorry for anyone moving here right now.
