CI-121

CI-121 draws bipartisan opposition. Matt Rosendale worries an independent candidate in his race could help Democrats. New campaign ads take both a humorous and hard-hitting approach. And Montana State University is urged not to name a new building after the sitting governor and his family.

A Lewis and Clark County district judge has ruled that Montana’s Attorney General and Secretary of State did their due diligence in vetting a proposed constitutional initiative that if passed would cap property taxes.

“Montana businesses are supportive of comprehensive tax reform. CI-121 is neither comprehensive, nor is it even reform. It is a clumsy bludgeon, similar to a bull in a china closet,” the Montana Chamber of Commerce executive director said.

A former Republican governor of Montana chastises his party for downplaying the January 6th insurrection. A former Republican congressman (and current congressional candidate) from Montana is chastised for ethics violations. And voters may see an initiative on the ballot that could lower their property taxes and hurt funding for local services.

Montana’s Supreme Court will allow a block to continue on signature gathering for a proposed constitutional initiative that would cap property taxes in the state.
