2025 Legislature and Politics

  • US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday

    An executive order the Republican signed last month eliminates a customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less starting Friday, nearly two years earlier than the deadline set in the tax cuts and spending law approved by Congress.

  • No Sales Tax! Hank Green Explains Montana’s Tax Problem

    The solution, Hank believes, is basic: Add a third tax bracket. He proposes a rate of 10% for anybody who earns more than $500,000 a year. There are not a lot of Montanans in that group, but he says it would generate real revenue without adding to the burden of those already stretched thin.
