The Senate is expected to vote on the tax bill sometime today or tonight. Senator Daines has flip-flopped and now supports the bill, even though it is a giveaway for multimillionaires, adds $1.4 TRILLION to the deficit, slashes $25 BILLION to Medicare for Montana seniors, and stops oil, gas and coal royalty payments to the tune of $23 million among other things.
Call his office now and tell him to vote NO: (202) 224-2651
Here are some articles that came out in the last 24 hours about the effect of this bill on Montana:
Billings Gazette: Montana's state government could lose $30M in revenue if Senate tax plan passes
"Department of Revenue Director Mike Kadas advised the governor’s office ahead of the Senate vote that the tax reforms would cut contributions to the state general fund by $29.8 million over the next two tax years. A House tax reform bill passed in early November would cut general fund contributions by $9.9 million."
Lee Newspapers: Montana higher education official: Tax plan poses 'substantial challenges'
"Toryn Rogers is a graduate student at the University of Montana who estimated his tax burden would jump at least 150 percent and possibly closer to 200 percent if the GOP's proposed tax plan becomes law. Some students would see increases as high as 400 percent, Rogers said Wednesday.
Even Montana's realtors don't like the GOP tax plan:

Don't be fooled. This GOP tax plan is a bad deal for Montanans -- rich or poor!
