Highways Plan Spurred by Idaho County Meeting

Former Gov Gooding urged a Richfield link for year round use and connections to Arco and Hailey, with surveys to start immediately. Local leaders touted road boosts, including a Snake River bridge at Shoshone Falls and use of state prisoners on the projects.

State Taxes and Local Proportion in Idaho
Boise May 26 A discussion on state and local tax burdens follows President Brannan’s remark that the university will not seek more funding. The State Tax Commission notes public resistance to higher taxes as voters reject bond issues, with town levies showing state and local components. A county seat’s total tax levy of 32 per 1000 valuation splits into state tax 24.12 and special school tax 12.00, suggesting relief must target larger items while preserving essential services.
