Wealthy out-of-staters have bankrolled an effort to put CI-134 on the ballot for Montana voters this November. Signature gatherers are out in many communities with misinformation about what this initiative would do. If passed, CI-134 would put complicated property tax policy into the Montana Constitution, benefiting wealthy out-of-staters while cutting necessary funding for Rural Fire Districts, roads, and police.

 

The map below shows the immense impact CI-134 would have across the state, impacting numerous taxing jurisdictions in each county. Local taxing jurisdictions in some counties would see an estimated loss of over 25% of their property tax revenue.

 

Decline to sign CI-134, an effort by wealthy out-of-staters to lower their own taxes at the cost of essential services like fire and police.
