IdaBlue: We Told You So
We told you so. The Post-Register has an opinion up pointing out the ongoing damage to Idaho schools caused by Jim Risch's revenue swap from property to sales taxes. Their funding has been destabilized, and we may well start seeing school district seeking new bond/revenue measures. Julie has more here. Also, Kevin Richert notes that the budget cutbacks to education may well require school districts to try to seek more property tax revenue/IdaBlue. More here.
Question: Do you agree with IdaBlue that Jim Risch's revenue swap from property to sales taxes is a crucial element in the revenue shortfall hamstringing Idaho schools today?
