MISSOULA â Despite the plea of Missoula County government and local businesses, Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday signed a bill revoking the stateâs local-option gas tax, leaving commissioners to consider raising local property taxes to fill the void.
Gianforteâs signature essentially overturns the will of Missoula voters, who adopted the 2¢ per gallon tax last year. It also reverses the desire of the 1979 Legislature, which gave Montana counties the authority to adopt the tax as a tool to raise revenue for transportation maintenance.
