Governor Greg Gianforte gave his first State Of The State speech on Thursday evening, which focused heavily on the COVID-19 pandemic but also promised major actions to boost the economy and reduce government regulations.
Gianforte, a Republican, highlighted several heroes of the pandemic, including a Great Falls doctor who lived in his camper to protect his family after treating patients, service workers who went the extra mile, hospitals like Billings Clinic that operated child-care facilities and other businesses and individuals who helped neighbors during tough times.
