Edit: We don’t need stinking tax cuts
In a Moscow-Pullman Daily News editorial, Devin Rokyta comments:
Idaho needs better roads, more funding directed toward education and substantial investments in broadband and job training.
The list could go on and on.
But, if history is any indication, what it will get and what it needs are two vastly different things.
The state is staring at a potential $139 million surplus in tax revenue if the current forecasts hold true. It’s some $92 million more than what lawmakers were expecting, which is a good thing for Idaho.
Unfortunately, it is likely a foregone conclusion the surplus will be squandered with more unneeded tax cuts for the wealthy. Republicans just can’t resist a tax cut. More here.
