Governor Seeks Broad Tax Base Change To Aid Cities
Boise Governor Don Samuelson urged cities and counties to craft a method to widen the tax base rather than rely on House Bill 304. He proposed alternatives to repeal of the four percent limit, including shifting mill levies from schools and tying increases to the consumer price index. He favored new property exemptions and considered county or city sales taxes with voter approval, noting many jurisdictions remain at four percent and face a revenue hole. The governor vetoed 304's limit repeal, and lawmakers move toward a substitute measure in committee.
