Show Notes
Montana voters strongly oppose implementing a statewide sales tax, despite its potential to reduce property taxes. A recent poll found that 60% of registered voters are against the idea, with 33% in favor. Opposition is consistent across party lines, with Republicans, Democrats, and independents all showing majority opposition. Montana, one of five states without a sales tax, relies on income and property taxes, which have increased burden on homes and small businesses due to declining industries. Business leaders advocate for system updates, but critics warn of disproportionate impact on lower- and middle-income families. Voters have previously rejected similar proposals, and the resistance remains strong, keeping Montana sales tax-free for now.
