The effects of the recession have been felt across the nation. In Idaho, revenues have dropped nearly 25%. Much discussion has been and will be held on how to bridge that gap. I firmly believe that raising taxes is not the answer. Future strength of state revenue streams is dependent on a business, industry, and agricultural environment that promotes strong economic development and stable employment opportunities. We must move forward with the mindset that the private sector, not the government, will be the catalyst that leads us to economic recovery and enhanced revenue for the needs of government.
