Backers of property tax cap initiative ask Supreme Court to allow signature gathering
January 17, 2022/
One of the backers of an initiative aiming to cap property taxes in Montana is asking the state Supreme Court to reverse a lower court’s block on collecting signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot.
Bozeman attorney Matthew Monforton, a former state GOP lawmaker, made the emergency filing Friday. It came a day after Lewis and Clark District Court Judge Michael McMahon granted a request blocking signature gathering. That came from groups that sued to challenge the state Attorney General and Secretary of State approving the initiative for the signature-gathering process to qualify for the ballot.
