Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden’s office has issued a 12-page opinion concluding that there was nothing illegal about the secret tax deals struck by the state Tax Commission with large multistate corporations, excusing them from paying part of their Idaho taxes. The deals were revealed in a whistleblower’s report submitted to the governor and Legislature by a longtime state tax auditor, who complained that the deals have become so frequent that such corporations now routinely protest their taxes in order to get their “Idaho tax break”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: Do you agree with AG Lawrence Wasden's analysis of the secret tax deals between the Tax Commission and large multistate corporations?
