Boise lawmaker probes eliminating sales tax exemptions
Rep. Ray Lincoln of Twin Falls asks the legislative council to study how much revenue would be raised by scrapping all sales and use tax exemptions. He says the move could fund public schools from the state and relieve local property taxes, though he has no figures yet. Lincoln notes some products may be taxed twice already and aims to broaden the tax base while easing property tax burdens.

Legislature Eyes General Fund Budget Above Continuation Level
BOSE UPD Chairman Jenkin Palmer forecasts the legislature will adopt a general fund budget above the continuation level. The joint Finance Appropriations Committee will finish hearings, draft omnibus bills, and seek revenue and caucus guidance before deciding if taxes rise to fund the higher budget. Governor Andrus proposes 149.2 million with 130 million current revenue and four major tax hikes to cover the gap. Palmer notes salary increases and school funding plans may limit new spending.

Welfare Budgeting Approaches Tested by Idaho DPA
Idaho's Department of Public Assistance may issue protective payments directly to landlords or utility suppliers or appoint guardians for welfare recipients who struggle with budgeting. Director Dr. John Marks notes these methods are costly and complex but can ensure basic living costs are met. The guardian route is harder due to finding willing guardians and court involvement.
