Last Thursday, the Idaho Legislature convened in a one-day special session to pass a wide-ranging bill with $500 million in one-time tax rebates, $150 million in ongoing tax cuts, and more than $400 million in ongoing education spending.
Miguel Legarreta, president of the Associated Taxpayers of Idaho, joins the podcast this week to breaks down the tax components of the bill. Then Kelley Packer, executive director of the Association of Idaho Cities, explains how the education component may affect sales tax distribution to local governments, and what her organization wishes the governor had proposed instead.
