CSD Gives Back $450K In Taxes

Item: School district to return taxes : Trustees vote to give $450,000 back to taxpayers /Jeff Selle, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: Taxpayers in the Coeur d’Alene School District will see some relief on their taxes next year after the board of trustees voted to return $450,000 in levy funds Monday night. After passing an emergency levy last fall, the board discovered more money left than what it projected, so it has decided to give some of the surplus back to the taxpayers. “I’m just excited for the opportunity,” said Trustee Tom Hamilton. “I don’t know if it’s too often that taxing bodies talk about giving back.”

Digger: Wait…am I reading this right? The “librul” controlled school board is actually cutting taxes? Why didn’t Brent Regan and his merry men do this when he was in office?!

Question: Good move?
