Jorgenson, Clark target urban renewal districts

Mike Jorgenson, R-Hayden Lake, calls “taxation without representation.” His two bills, co-sponsored by Rep. Jim Clark, R-Hayden Lake, were introduced yesterday in Rev & Tax, but are strongly opposed by leaders of North Idaho urban renewal districts, who call them “misguided legislation.” Read Parker Howell’s full report here in today’s Spokesman-Review.
