Idaho Capital Report on 1957 59 Tax Plan and Session
Idaho lawmakers return home after a 60 day session that approved a 64.4 million general fund for 1957-59 and raised personal and corporate income taxes by 8.2 million to bridge a 55 million revenue gap. The plan also includes 1.2 million from new excise taxes on dividends and a 22 million state aid allocation for education. House and Senate clashed over a sales tax and a gross income plan, with Wetherell's bid for reconsideration turning into a party line disagreement. A beer tax tweak and cigarets levy faced changes or defeats while education funding and teacher salary adjustments drew final scrutiny. Governor Smythlie’s program largely enacted amid health board control questions and administrative shifts.
