Oil’s tax impact dominates Montana budgets says Bullock
Bullock notes oil and gas drive a large share of Montana sales tax and state revenue. He forecasts to balance the budget with two agencies under court orders to improve services. Oil price changes ripple through equipment purchases and worker spending, with 18.4 percent of sales tax linked to oil and gas now, up to 30 percent in 1982, and experts expect clarity by next spring as OPEC price trends unfold.

Sales tax drives Texas revenue growth critique
Statistics from the comptroller show the sales tax as 40.7 percent of total tax revenue in the year ending Aug. 31, 1984, with oil at 12 percent and natural gas at 11.8 percent. Bullock argues the sales tax is the big workhorse and questions the lack of a growth tax to fund growing needs as Texas adds 350,000 residents yearly.
