Taxation is Ruination – A warning for Montana

Even Democrat legislator Rep. Mark Thane stated that we’re now into a “year of pain” for renters. And what does pain look like?

What is not an acceptable outcome is to drive Montanans out of their homes through errant and destructive tax policy. Shame on the State government and legislature for putting its wants above the needs of the citizens it is supposed to serve and represent. For Montana to thrive, tax policy must offer stability, prioritize community over government expansion, and guarantee that it’s always the people who come first.

That’s a mission that has not been accomplished.
