1. What I've been saying for years.

They hope that while you’re working to pay rent or find child care, you won’t notice that they’re pushing to raise your taxes. Last year, Republicans voted to give massive tax giveaways to the ultra rich–many of whom are moving here from out of state–while tucking in a tax hike on over 85,000 working Montanans.


Actually, for the past ten years, we have seen an in-migration of monied individuals and corporate entities raising the cost of living for the residents already here without improving their ability to earn more.

They insist on paying nothing to the service and hospitality/tourism industry workers while going all out to attract more and more tourists who overwhelm our infrastructure. And then they complain that nobody wants to work, this in the middle of long term and short term housing shortage for workers.
