Brian Labrie, an active social media user, shared updates on legislative progress and local conditions in a series of tweets posted in February 2026.
On February 18, 2026, Labrie announced the advancement of a property tax transparency bill out of committee. He wrote, “HB 1516 passes OTP/A out of committee! ‘The truth in taxation bill’. This bill graphically identifies where tax dollars are allocated on property tax invoices. Tax payers have the right to see where every dime goes. Next step is to significantly reduce those out of control taxes!” The tweet refers to HB 1516, which aims to improve transparency for taxpayers by clearly displaying how their property taxes are distributed.
Later that morning, Labrie commented on seasonal recreation conditions with a brief update: “Great winter for snowmobiling. From the top of the state to the bottom. Stellar!” (February 18, 2026).
Two days later, on February 20, Labrie offered praise for a public address without specifying details or context: “Great speech. Well executed!”
Property tax transparency initiatives like HB 1516 have been introduced in various states over recent years to give taxpayers clearer information about government spending and resource allocation.
