Missoula roundtable gathers ideas to improve state economy

When state economist Barb Wagner asked a room of almost 200 people how they felt about the strength of Montana’s economy, more than two-thirds agreed that "it’s not good, but it’s not bad."

The ho-hum answer set the stage for a nearly three-hour roundtable discussion to gather ideas on how to improve that outlook and move the state’s economy forward.
