Charter Tax/ Oil Shale Flowers



Missoulian: Montana initiative to reverse Charter tax increase gets OK for signatures
Initiative No.172
“BALLOT LANGUAGE FOR INITIATIVE NO.172
A LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
I-172 changes the property rates for the video portion of cable television property for companies that provide physically bundled services of cable television, phone and high speed internet. In 2009, the Department of Revenue determined that a company that upgraded its cable television services to include bundled telecommunication services should be assessed a higher rate, and sought retroactive property tax payments going back to 2006. This determination increased the property taxes owed by the company.”

Graham’s and White River Beardtongues
“Both Graham's beardtongue (Penstemon grahamii) and White River beardtongue (Penstemon scariosus var. albifluvis) are long-lived perennial herbaceous plants in the plantain family (Plantaginacease). both species are local endemic plants associated with soils containing calcium carbonate, derived from oil shale barrens of the Green River geologic formation. Most populations are associated with the surface exposure of the petroleum-bearing oil shale Mahogany ledge.”
