[Vision2020] property taxes

[roger hayes]

>
My taxes went up. But then I do not own a business, farm, corporation,  
rental property, second home. What should we expect from Jim Rich? To  
actually care about middle income Idahoans? I remember when he used to  
list his occupation as "farmer/rancher." Yes, if he is a farmer, I am  
the king of England. Well, anyhow he dumped his Snake River irrigated  
potatoes on the market and wrote off the loss from his corporate  
headquarters two blocks from the Statehouse. That was the year the  
farmers dumped their potatoes on the Capitol mall in protest of low  
market prices.

  I wonder if his taxes will go up or down?

Sincerely,
Roger Hayes
