I'm a financial planner from Missoula who is testifying before the MT House Taxation Committee this Thursday (1/15/09) on HB 185 (Tax parity treatment of 529 contributions for out-of-state plans). From reading your "Bum Deal" post, I can tell you that my arguments in favor are pretty much identical to yours, but it would be excellent to have another voice of support on Thursday. Any chance you can make it to Helena. You can contact me via email jill@fstewartfinancial.com.

Hope you get this in time!

Leifw,

I'm a policy advisor at a policy non-profit organization in Great Falls. I work closely with a handful of state legislators and am particularly interested in your thoughts on Montana's 529 plan. I found your post on the subject to be well informed and insightful. I'd love to speak with you some more about your thoughts on what could be done to address this issue during the upcoming legislative session. If this is something you'd be interested in, please let me know how to contact you.

While I love your reasoning and could only hope that a fraction of the country put in a fraction of the effort you did when determining who to vote for in this most recent election, I have to wonder if the Republicans got your message. I think the note attached to their @ss when it got handed to them on election day indicated that America was generally unhappy with the basic undertakings in the last four to six years, but I'm not certain they got the more detailed message from those who voted for McCain. More likely they'll focus on the votes they "lost", and assume that for the rest, they'll vote for whatever Republican gets offered up in the general election. Oh, and I didn't vote for Obama because I'd prefer not to have someone skip two or three steps along the learning path, and then go ahead and make all the inevitable mistakes that would have been made along the way, but all at once as the president. Sure would have been nice to get some of those out of the way as a governor, or at least the chairman of a commitee, or something. But, the time for misgivings and doubts is over. He is my president now, and God bless him and the people he looks to for advice.

my sentiments (nearly) exactly. Except I didn't get to vote at all because I was still homebound with a new baby on election day. I had planned to vote early, but never got around to it.

I didn't vote for Obama for different reasons, but I think I like yours better.
