Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune opines that a Legislatures's Office of Performance Evaluations report indicates that the state's anti-tax mania is having negative repercussions:

You can't isolate tax policy from the services and infrastructure those taxes provide. In fact, a lower tax rate that produces inadequate schools, unskilled workers or a deteriorating infrastructure can hinder business expansion. "Businesses rely on tax-funded government services such as infrastructure development, education and workforce training. Tax policy changes that affect Idaho's ability to fund such programs might improve Idaho's competitiveness in the short term by reducing business tax burden, but decrease Idaho's competitiveness in the long term by eroding the quality of nontax factors."

Question: Is Idaho cutting off its nose to spite its face?
