Government has me shaking my head...

In the newspaper was an article about how
those in Boise want to drop/phase out in 5
years, the Idaho personal tax on business
equipment. Which that in it's self is
contradicting. If it is a business equipment,
then it isn't personal. It is a business.

This money would have been used for county,
SCHOOLS and TRANSPORTATION dollars.
Now remember those places.

Anyway, they had one Bill 599, which
would have gave the small business
a exemption on the first $50,0000. But
that failed 8-18.

What puzzles me is the fact that our
own Bonner County SCHOOL district is
going to have a levy coming up soon.
Because they don't have enough money
for the upkeep of the schools.

And the Boise group with the Governor,
would like to raise our registration for our
vehicles and/or raise our tax on our gas.
Like gas isn't high enough now. Most
Idaho towns up here are paying just as much as
Washington State and they have a 9 cent
tax more than us. And they want this raise
for TRANSPORTATION Dept. for repairs of
the roads.

So why are they phasing out money in a 5
year deal for two very important needs that
are already looking for more money with the
taxes as they are now?

I am so confused...
