State Tax Change Hinted by Governor and Board
The governor plans to adopt the State Board of Assessors resolution as legislation for a lower state tax rate, following prior acts that set county rates and saw a 30 and 76 cent state levy. A Carson session last week urged lawmakers to reduce the state tax, though no provision exists yet. A separate Supreme Court opinion by Justice Brower reviews a mining dispute over following a vein from a Drum Mine site in Lewis and Clark County, where the St Louis Company claims rights under the surface owned by Montana Company but the court did not side with it.
