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.
