Bills Threaten Publicity of Delinquent Taxes and Occupation Licenses
The Missoulian notes two bills in the legislature aimed at newspapers. One repeals the delinquent tax list publication and another the occupation license publication. Authors claim the tax list publication protects the public, aids tax collection, and prevents tax deeds, while opponents argue the bills undermine notice to owners and favor tax-title sharks. The piece urges senate scrutiny before repeals pass.
