In his editorial this morning, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune comments:

To hear Idaho Freedom Foundation President Wayne Hoffman tell it, House Republican Leader Mike Moyle's $27.8 million tax cut is the stuff of cotton candy. Once the spun sugar melts in your mouth, you're left with a sweet aftertaste and a paper cone. Hoffman says the Moyle bill to lower the top income tax brackets and boost a sales tax grocery tax credit is "pretty difficult to get excited about. ..." It "lacks ambition and ultimately does little to resolve Idaho's confiscatory taxation scheme. ..." The bill "would be better than nothing, but not by much. ..." Idaho's tax hawk just let the cat out of the bag. Of course, he'll take Moyle's bill -- which cleared the Idaho House Wednesday - as a last resort. But Hoffman freely admits Moyle's plan is not much more than a political confection in an election year. More here.
