Median residential property taxes in Montana went up 21% this year. That’s $213 million more from working Montanans. Meanwhile North Western Energy property taxes went down 20%, that’s a decrease of $36 million. Collections on industrial property are down by about $52.9 million. An extra holiday bonus was given to Montana ratepayers from the Public Services Commission, the cost of electricity from North Western Energy is going up 28%. In appreciation for the big lump of coal in the holiday, send a thank you to Governor Gianforte and the Republican Legislature, once again they grease the way for large corporations and place the tax burden squarely on the backs of Montana residents. A special nog to Representative Paul Fielder, Chair of the House Taxation Committee. A cookie and nog to Jennifer Fielder, V-Pres of the PSC and District 4 Representative. Republicans, taxation, holiday spirit keeps giving.

In 2024, end corporate welfare and handouts for the rich. Vote Ryan Busse for Governor, A New Brand For Montana.
