Thanks For Nothing, Butch

On his Twitter page, Gov. Butch Otter brags: "I signed my bill reducing State income tax rates into law today, keeping $35 million more of taxpayers’ money in their pockets."

DFO: Ah, Butch, did you forget that the $35M only goes into the pockets of corporations and the wealthiest 17 percent of Idaho's workers? Thanks for nothing but blowing $35M on the well heeled instead of using it to increase funding for gutted schools and social programs -- or one-time construction.

Question: Anyone out there getting a part of Butch's $35 million in income tax cuts?
