Charter proposes Montana initiative to block 300 percent tax increase

Charter Communications https://www.charter.com/ is proposing a state ballot measure to reclassify cable television companies’ property in Montana for tax purposes and block a tax increase of more than 300 percent.

It is intended to reverse a Montana Supreme Court decision in December that upheld how the state Revenue Department reclassified the property of Bresnan Communications. Charter now owns the cable company that Bresnan had owned from 2002 to 2010.
