Idaho politics is somewhat in limbo this time of year, and that’s certainly the case for Reclaim Idaho.
The group has turned in its petitions in its bid to get its Quality Education Act on the November ballot. County clerks are reviewing the petitions, and it will be weeks before we know if the initiative has qualified for the ballot.
If it passes, the initiative would call for increasing corporate income tax rates and tax rates for Idahoans making more than $250,000 a year and families making more than $500,000. The money, more than $300 million, would go into K-12.
This week, Kevin Richert interviews Reclaim Idaho co-founder Luke Mayville about the initiative and the political waiting game.
