(Helena) This week, Montana’s Legislative Fiscal Division (LFD) released a statutorily-required analysis of the 2025-2027 biennium budget growth, and concluded that Montana’s budget has grown by 2.1% since last measurement.
After factoring in transfer of General Fund resources to special trusts and the distribution of significant income and property tax reductions, the LFD report released on June 3 notes that Montana’s total resource spending, and trust accounts, grew by just over 2% over the biennium, a growth rate that is lower than inflation.
