Rail Tax Case Carried to Supreme Court in Boise
A dispute over including parts of the Oregon Short Line railroad in adjacent school tax districts has been appealed to the Idaho Supreme Court. The railroad argues annexation of two lapsed districts would tax its property without due process, noting 87 percent of the district's taxable value lies on its main line and higher taxes would result. The Minidoka County commission backed the annexation, and a district court upheld it, prompting the appeal.
