>>
>> “I don’t want to tell a woman what to do with her body, and neither

>> His other bills all focus on tax relief.

>> future years. Foreman’s bill would allow counties to bank that taxing
>> authority for a maximum of one year.
>>
>> Dan Chadwick, executive director of the Idaho Association of Counties,

>>
>> “Counties don’t tax just to tax,” he said. “The idea of foregone taxes is

>>
>> A $250 million reduction in general fund collections would eliminate

>> public school funding.
>>
>> *Citing the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s proposed budget, Foreman said

>>
>> In his State of the State address Monday, Otter noted state tax
