Tax out of state residents with vacation property in Montana

Williams focused on tapping money from out-of-state residents who vacation in Montana or purchase properties here. "They are buying up big tracts of lands, they are locking it off and they are not paying their fair share," Williams said. "It is well past time that we say you are welcome in Montana but you are going to pave the roads that you drive on, you are going to pay for the schools that you're not sending your kids to and you are going to pay for the Main Streets you're not shopping at."

Strongly against state sales tax

Williams also came out strongly against a sales tax, an issue that played a role in the 2016 governor's race when old audio from 2002 emerged of Rep. Greg Gianforte presenting a tax advisory council possible solutions to create jobs in Montana that included the idea of a sales tax. However, Gianforte said in the 2016 campaign he would never support a sales tax. Montanans have voted against a sales tax twice before, and it's been seen as the third rail in tax policy for political candidates.
