Sen. Jon Tester continued to distance himself from the Harris-Walz presidential ticket during a press conference in Kalispell on Friday on legislation aimed at making home ownership more attainable.
Tester talked up the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Act before a gaggle of reporters at Bias Brewing in downtown Kalispell on Sept. 20. He is co-sponsoring the bill, which would establish a refundable tax credit valued at up to 10% of a home’s purchase price, capped at $15,000.
Tester said the bill would direct the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish a program for advance payments of the credit, so it can be used at the time the home is purchased.
