@LCTRfan They did - with the married filing separately on the same form. Should the government really be encouraging social behavior? You get to pay less taxes if you have dependents. You get to pay less taxes if you are married. Why should a single person pay more?
@LCTRfan It's the "marriage penalty". If I stack my income on top of my wife's, 100% of my income is taxed at the max rate vs filing separately I can keep some of my income out of the top bracket.
@DPurdyJackson What about the 2 yrs of property tax rebates paid for by income tax? I have no idea at present if my property taxes went up (I'm a senior). The GOP cut income taxes for everyone that was in the top bracket which begins around what? $19k?
@MGMonforton@ChrisMehl7@GovGianforte I'd much prefer to NOT pay 1% as that would increase my taxes by well over 50%. We need a CA prop 13. You know your taxes when you buy. No need to increase every yr based on new fake valuation. #MTPol
@PHDDCWP @GovGianforte Lucky you, knowing how much your next property tax payment will be. Not many know that yet. I hear Gallatin says they may decrease. #MTPol#MTLeg
Looking forward to my income tax rebate check coming in the mail in the next month or so. I hope most people will get back more than me. Thanks #MTLeg for passing, and @GovGianforte for signing, this bill. #MTPol
@CroesFire@BabyGamz Are the different districts wholly contained in the same county? Check the MT constitution for requirements. Article V Section 4 #MTPol#MTLeg
People recreating on MT state trust lands have previously been required to purchase an *additional* State Lands Recreational Use License to access these properties. With the new law, the purchase of a Conservation License is all that is required to access state lands. #MTPol
Congratulations Montana! You voted down-ticket Republican and now none of us can enjoy our public lands without a license.
Did you do it? Did you own the libs?

@KyleSchmauch @PHDDCWP @GovGianforte I wonder how much the DOR is going to spend going all over the State explaining why the estimated amount of property taxes you see is most likely not the amount you will pay. This yrs valuation vs last yrs mills. #Irresponsible#MTPol#MTLeg
@KyleSchmauch @PHDDCWP @GovGianforte The county sends out a request for payment. :-) As I recall, they may send out something before the actual bill IMO, It was irresponsible of the DOR to send out an estimate based on this yrs valuations and last years mills.
@in_brett I'm OK with the appraisal. I just have to wait to see what the county does with the mills before I get upset about an unknow amount. It's nice to have *all* the facts when forming an opinion. #MTLeg
@EssmannJeff WoW! $50/mo here for 15mb DSL. $35/mo for 50MB in the RV park in AZ. I think Starlink just went to $110/mo. I also have 6 fiber trunks under my driveway - been there about 20 yrs.
@HertzRep @ryandbusse@GovGianforte Even a Democrat governor give us a property tax rebate instead of lowering taxes, knowing that it would be fiscally irresponsible to lower them going forward. #MTPol#MTLeg#MTDems
@EssmannJeff @MKinMT @ryanpcooney What does a "healthful environment" include? No smoke in the Summers? No COVID or flu viruses? I guess the courts needs to decide just what is within the State's ability to provide. Should we halt the use of fossil fuels in the State? Maybe let's try it for 10 days.
@iceraed@GovGianforte@MTGOP Talk to your county commissioners - most of your local property taxes go to the County and local schools. The legislature did vote to rebate property taxes using income tax money to backfill the counties. #MTPol#MTLeg
@wildmontana Perhaps if there wasn't a "sales tax" on marijuana, it would be an issue. I've always been in strong opposition of so called "sin taxes" especially in a state with supposedly no sales tax. #MTPol#MTleg
