Montana Governor Greg Gianforte previews his state budget proposal
Gov. Greg Gianforte on Thursday released a preview of the budget he’ll propose for the upcoming biennium that includes a plan to use the state’s estimated $1 billion surplus to invest in major state-run facilities and reduce income and property taxes.
“We’re cutting taxes, holding the line on spending, making our communities and families safer, more secure and stronger,” Gianforte, a Republican, said. There was not an overall dollar estimate on the budget available Thursday. The governor said he’d release the full budget proposal next week.

Cotton’s analysis is fundamentally flawed because it is fundamentally partisan. He has manipulated revenues and expenditures to show that our Republican Governor is restraining government spending and cutting taxes, when in reality Gianforte has a surplus to play with because of the various stimulus measures passed by a Democratic Congress with no Republican support.
