Mountain States Policy Center

As the next legislative session draws closer, leadership from the Mountain States Policy Center and Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office are trying to gather support for a flat personal income tax for all Montana taxpayers. Advocates promoted the proposal and fielded questions from voters in Helena Thursday.

Gov. Gianforte says one of his top priorities before leaving office is to pass a flat income tax rate. The state’s healthy budget has supported tax cuts in recent legislative sessions, but revenue growth is slowing.
