Montana Republicans, Democrats float ideas to lower home property taxes
Montana, one of five U.S. states without a sales tax, relies primarily on income and property taxes to fund state and local government programs. Income taxes collected by the Montana Department of Revenue fund the lion’s share of state government: health and social service programs, the state prison system and state-level support for K-12 schools and public universities. Property taxes, collected by county treasurers under the auspices of a tax code specified by the Legislature, generally fund local services such as law enforcement, fire departments, and the rest of the bill for K-12 schools. (One chunk of property tax bills, the so-called 95 mills, is transmitted to the state and redistributed to schools in an effort to equalize funding between richer and poorer districts.)

The Best and Worst of Book Adaptations
To me, a good adaptation requires a filmmaker who understands the book so deeply that they are able to make changes — changes that remain faithful to the spirit and energy of a book but that are necessary to reformat the story for the screen. We’ve all seen bad adaptations that try to remain 100% faithful to the source material (hello bad voiceovers??). What was the point of adapting it, in that case? The best adaptations pluck out what is best about a book and add in what is best about movie or TV-making. What can film/TV do that the book couldn’t, and how can putting the source material into a new medium make it better or different or further deliver on the premise? Let me attempt to illustrate my point with some examples.
