Legislative limelights...Sales tax raise idea faces cool reception Item Info

A newspaper article discussing: Governor John V. Evans proposes expanding Idaho's sales tax to offset property tax limits but acknowledges that the state Legislature is unlikely to approve any tax hikes before the elections. He suggests local governments could introduce local option taxes with voter approval, though legislators are concerned about voter backlash. With three years left in his term, Evans has more political flexibility, but any tax increases remain a sensitive issue ahead of the May primary elections.
