Here's another Jeer from Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune to ... Idaho state Rep. Gary Collins, R-Nampa, chairman of the House Revenue and Taxation Committee, and Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, chairman of the Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee:

"Together, they head up a legislative tax working group that is flirting with more tax cuts. Look over who Collins and Siddoway invited to their meeting Tuesday:

• Idaho Freedom Foundation President Wayne Hoffman.
• National Federation of Independent Business State Director Suzanne Budge.
• Associated Taxpayers of Idaho President Ben Davenport.
• Idaho Retailers Association President/CEO Pam Eaton.
• Idaho Society of Certified Public Accountants lobbyist Ken McClure.

Hoffman called for tax cuts. Others offered a more nuanced view. But the only person called before the panel to offer a contrarian view was Lauren Necochea, director of the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy. No teachers were asked about how cutting taxes might undermine efforts to repair damage legislative neglect has inflicted on the schools. More here.

Question: Are you concerned that the Tax Work Group, which had been meeting in secret before the media smoked them out, seems to be stacking the deck to provide cover for a call for more tax cuts next legislative session?
