Contents


The Limitation on Property Tax Increases Act, or CI-99, was an initiated constitutional amendment that would cap property taxe increases at 1.5% annually and would have homes only be reappraised when sold. John McMenamin sponsored the initiative. McMenamin has said that he launched initiative due to frustration with the legislature.[1]

CI-99 aimed for a spot on the November 2008 ballot in Montana. Supporters fell short of the 45,000 valid signatures required by the state's June 20 petition drive deadline, coming up with less than 25,000.[2] [3][4]

Opposition

Gov. Schweitzer has promised to prepare legislation that will prevent a new tax increase for 2008.
