IFF: Quit workforce training business
A bill quietly making its way through the Idaho Legislature would prolong a failed government program — and all the taxes that go with it. Born 20 years ago, the Workforce Development Training Fund is supported through the unemployment insurance taxes paid by businesses in Idaho. Money goes into the fund, and then spent largely to help train or retrain workers for certain jobs and professions. Lawmakers have always included a kill switch in the authorization for the Workforce Development Training Fund. At least every five years, the Legislature is required to re-evaluate the program. But the evaluations have been, shall we say, largely nonexistent, even though businesses that receive money from the fund sometimes just go out of business or leave the state/ Wayne Hoffman , Idaho Freedom Foundation.
