Whitefish’s Mike Jopek is a garlic farmer and a former member of the Montana House of Representatives.In addition to his dislike of the lobbyist takeover of the Montana Legislature, Mike is a fierce advocate of property tax fairness in Montana. While Gov. Greg Gianforte and many in the Legislature want us to believe that the property tax system in Montana is a complex matter, Mike tells us that it is far from rocket science.He is a proponent for House Bill 528, minus a Rep. Lew Jones amendment. He urges you ring that Liberty Bell and call (406) 444-4800 to leave messages for your senators. If they are like Mike when he served in Helena, you can call them on their cell phones, too.To have your voice heard on the Mad About Montana Podcast, contact Nylund at [email protected] or Foley at [email protected].
