Boise Idaho House tax writers sift through relief ideas after a revenue projection shows a potential shortfall for permanent tax breaks. The joint committee estimates next year’s general fund at 223.5 million, below governor Andrus’ 228.4 million, with proposals to raise the grocery credit, cut rates, and expand exemptions while a federal revenue share could fill the gap.
