Reducing Property Taxes
Ben is proud that Democrats led efforts in the last legislature to reduce property taxes on primary residences and long-term rentals.
However, the fact is, Montana's tax system is out-dated and relies too heavily on property taxes to fund our schools, roads, and government.
Montana is undergoing historic changes with the decline of extractive industries in the state. As Montana continues its transition to a more service and tourism-centered economy, we need to take a long-hard look at generating other sources of revenue for the state instead of placing too much of the burden on home owners and renters who are already struggling to get by.
We can start with generating more state revenue from the millions of tourists who visit our beautiful state each year.
