Taxing The Rich To Pay For Education In Idaho: Will It Work?

Ethan Webber

Boise State Public Radio

Reclaim Idaho wants to tax folks in upper brackets to pay for education. They succeeded with a citizen initiative for Medicaid Expansion. Will this initiative be as successful? Will they face opposition? Will the measure provide tax relief in rural districts? Can the Idaho Legislature still override the initiative? Idaho Matters asks College of Idaho Professor Jasper LiCalzi, who wrote the book "Idaho politics and Government" to weigh in.
