Issue Position: Building a Strong Economy

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Business and Consumers Taxes Economy and Fiscal Business, Consumers, and Employees

I believe that a strong economy is vital to helping Idaho become an attractive place for people start a company or relocate their families too. In Idaho we have done our best to ensure that we keep taxes low, while keeping our budget balanced. In 2012 we balanced our budget, lowered the personal income tax rate, and the corporate tax rate, while at the same time we put $ 35 million in to our education savings account. Building a strong economy means that we must develop a diverse portfolio of businesses, so if one business sector is going through a tough time it does not take down the others.
