Gov. Greg Gianforte kicked off a tour of all 56 Montana counties in the far northwest corner of the state this week, hosting a town hall meeting in Eureka Thursday night just a stone’s throw from the Canadian border.

During the event, Gianforte touted his recent legislative accomplishments to a welcoming crowd of about 100 people. The event capped off a busy day for the governor that started with a tour of a specialty foods producer in Superior before he continued to Plains, Libby and Eureka, checking off three of the state’s 56 counties.

While attendees munched on appetizers on the patio of a local bar and grill, Gianforte gave a brief overview of the recently concluded legislative session. He highlighted bills that dole out rebates on income and property taxes, reform the business exemption tax and pay off state debt.
