02.24.18 Open For Business – Bozeman Commissioner Jeff Krauss

Jeff Krauss joined hosts Tom Egelhoff and Shane Montalban to cover a host of topics on this week’s Open for Business Show.

Hour One: Gun Control and Property Taxes might not seem to go together but those were the hot topics with callers in the first hour. Social services are the responsibility of the county and state but it seems our current commission might be moving in the social services direction. Jeff Krauss weighed in on that topic.

Hour Two: In this segment Commissioner Krauss gave stats about whose moving here, where from, and interesting information about Bozeman housing conditions. Where are we in numbers of houses being built and cost of living?

Hour Three: Shane started the hour off with Montana laws we don’t need. Jeff continued addressing the difficulty in providing affordable housing in Bozeman. The repatriation of funds back to the US under the new tax bill and what effect that will have on our economy, infrastructure and wage growth. The opioid epidemic and mental health as part of the Montana budget and the market wrap up finished out the show.
