Senator Tester Discusses American Rescue Plan in Missoula The American Rescue Plan was Montana Senator Jon Tester's topic at a meeting with business people in Missoula. The Friday morning gathering at Montgomery Distillery included distillery owners Jenny and Ryan Montgomery, Missoula County Commissioner Josh Slotnick and Missoula Economic Partnership CEO Grant Kier. The discussion was followed by questions from the media. Tester, the only Montana Congressman to vote for the Act, said, "A return to normal for our economy is in sight. But communities across our state are in critical need of relief to help them recover from the economic fallout of this crisis. That's why I worked to ensure that the American Rescue Plan provides targeted, direct relief to Montana cities like Missoula, which could receive nearly $14 million to plug revenue gaps and keep critical services like cops and firefighters on the beat. And it'll help small businesses like Montgomery Distillery and other hospitality, tourism and entertainment venues keep the lights on...We are already seeing the benefits."
