Gianforte outlines conservative Montana agenda in 2025 State of the State
Governor Greg Gianforte delivered Montana’s 2025 State of the State in the House, calling for a conservative agenda centered on family and community. He proposed tax cuts, targeted property tax exemptions for primary residents and small businesses, a teacher pay boost, expanded prison capacity, and shifts to offset exemptions with higher rates on second homes and large properties. He avoided abortion and Medicaid expansion mentions, signaling focus on property tax relief amid rising costs.
