Gov. Bullock proposes amending Montana constitution to ban statewide sales tax

Saying taxes have become a central theme in Montana’s gubernatorial race, Gov. Steve Bullock on Monday unveiled a proposal to amend the state constitution to prohibit a statewide general sales tax, taking a direct shot at his GOP challenger, who expressed support for the tax at least once in the past.

Gathered in a small downtown Missoula business, Bullock took several shots at Greg Gianforte, accusing the Republican of speaking mistruths throughout his campaign and of proposing a statewide sales tax.

Bullock believes the tax would hit middle- and low-income Montanans the hardest.
