Billings Gazette (Dec 24) wrote:Federal tax cuts passed into law this week are likely to cut into Montana state revenue by $70 million a year, Montana’s Department of Revenue reported Friday.

Great job for all of you who voted for Trump and rallied for this giant redistribution wealth to the richest of the rich. 👏 👏 👏
