Did you drive through Wisdom to get there?

Bonding for infrastructure that counties & muni's would use would have kept property tax increases from being as high as they are at the local levy, and places like Missoula, Bozeman, etc adding tens of thousands of new residents who all need services in their new subdivisions.

Yes, and a study of a few years ago explained that new subdivisions require about $1.70 in county support and services for every $1.00 they generate in county taxes, at least for the first decade or so. That makes a strong case for bonding for infrastructure and for impact fees to relieve current residents of the huge tax increases generated by the rampant growth in Gallatin, Missoula, Flathead and elsewhere.

It was in Bozeman, 20 plus years ago. Have you been binging on Costco rot gut again, buzz?

Costco rot gut again

For someone only once visiting Costco ... you gotta opining big-mouth. We shop Costco frequently and have found high quality foods and other products.
Please confine opinions to that for which you have knowledge and/or experience.

Anyhow ... property taxes are escalating way too quickly, whether or not in close proximity to Costco.

You're a 'rooter...through and through.

No offense to the real 'rooters like @tjones and @shoots-straight who aren't transplant move-in's.

Missoula just had their mayoral primary. The incumbent mayor is gone.

"Current incumbent Mayor Jordan Hess held the seat since his appointment in September 2022 and served Missoula City Council nine years prior. Hess is currently in third place with 3,262 votes.

A total of 20,846 votes were cast.

Voters selected from five candidates in the nonpartisan race:

Brandi Atanasoff
Andrea Davis
Jordan Hess
Shawn Knopp
Mike Nugent
Two out of the five candidates move onto the municipal general election set to take place Nov. 7.

The major issues surrounding this election include the homeless crisis, affordable housing and increases in city budget."

In 2 years I will be transplanting to greener pastures, just like you did buzz. I hear Wyoming is even more conservative than the root, and looking forward to when that day comes.

Conservative, but with firing brain cells, you won't fit in.

Also, way more moderate than the shit show politics of Montana. Sort of like Montana 25+ years ago before it became infested with the fringe right freaks.

That's the great thing about Montana, it's keeping the fringe right of right whackos confined there.

If you survived there this long, I will do just fine.

You were the one complaining about escalating property taxes. Just making you aware that there is a remedy for that available this year and next.

Vote buying...and a joke.

Missoula just had their mayoral primary. The incumbent mayor is gone.

Hess, the incumbent, was appointed last year after Mayor Engin died in office. Engin had held the position since 2006 and was fairly popular. Hess had never been elected as mayor and this recent primary wasn’t really a referendum on his performance.

Not really complaining, but merely opining about the timing and rate of increase.
Most property owners are fully aware of the Governor's political gesture to point to surplus. Incidentally, somethiing which was hatched long before the high increase of property tax appraisals. But thanks for ensuring we are aware of what you erroneously refer to as a "remedy".

I know Engin was popular, and was fiscally liberal. Hess was on the council for 9 years and was also fiscally liberal. Maybe Missoula residents are looking for new leadership this time around? Their town, their decision.

Been done before, with equal partisan disapproval.

The tax rebate and a hill of beans

Montanans will have a lot of fun with Gov. Brian Schweitzer's $400 property-tax rebate, now that the Legislature has finally approved a budget that provides for it.
