I have found in my short time in the Idaho Legislature that there is no shortage of agencies, bureaucrats or political subdivisions that want more of your hard earned money. I believe in keeping taxes low on both individuals and businesses. We must do what we can to keep a fair, reliable, and predictable tax structure. This is vital to helping grow Idaho's economy. As businesses look to Idaho to locate they want to know what our tax structure looks like. Since I have been in the legislature we have passed some major tax reductions. Not all of them have been signed into law, but one that I have fought successfully for was the removal of the personal property tax. In 2013 we passed the removal of the personal property tax. The less money that the government takes in, the more you have to spend on goods and services.
