Trib: Potholes may beat pupils again

In the Lewiston Tribune, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase comments:

There’s good news coming out of Boise. Yet again, the surging economy is swelling the stream of tax dollars flowing into state coffers. As the Spokesman-Review’s Betsy Russell noted, the state collected more income taxes, corporate taxes and sales taxes than it expected. Collections in August were 2.2 percent ahead of projections - and 6.6 percent more than what Idaho received at the same point last year. If you add equally impressive July collections, the state is now 3.3 percent ahead of where it thought it would be - and took in 7.8 percent more than it did for the same period a year ago. More here.
