IFF’s Hoffman blasts Otter budget

Wayne Hoffman of Idaho Freedom Foundation made the following statement re: Gov. Butch Otter’s proposed 2016 budget:

The governor’s budget is a tax-and-spend bonanza. It disappointingly contains no tax relief, but rather offers stratospheric, unrealistic levels of state government expenditures. His budget should be declared dead on arrival with lawmakers who want to help Idahoans instead of just growing government.

Additionally, the governor’s speech was devoid of exciting, bold, innovative and conservative policy ideas. My hope is that the Legislature will take this opportunity to fill the void and work on the conservative ideas that the governor’s policy road map left out. More here.
