Idaho governor signs property tax relief legislation
BOISE, Idaho (AP) Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed a property tax relief bill Wednesday that opponents describe as deeply flawed but supporters say is better than nothing.
The Republican governor expressed his own doubts in approving the legislation that was rushed through in the final days of the legislative session last week with little public participation. The law takes effect immediately, with significant portions retroactive to Jan. 1.
“I am signing House Bill 389 because it provides some relief to Idaho taxpayers,” Little wrote in a letter to lawmakers. “However, I fear the long-term consequences may outweigh this temporary reprieve.”

Colorado’s elections are a bipartisan success story, so when Major League baseball responded to Georgia’s new voting restrictions by moving the All-Star Game to Denver, it couldn’t have made a better choice.
More than 76% of eligible Coloradoans voted in 2020 second only to Minnesota in statewide turnout. Every registered voter gets a mail-in ballot weeks ahead of election day, there are convenient and safe drop boxes, and in-person voting is also available. People seem to love the choices.
Yet other Rocky Mountain states seem locked in competition to pass the most brazenly anti-democratic election laws.
Montana bills would eliminate Election Day voter registration and impose new restrictions on absentee voting. In Wyoming, many lawmakers seek to abolish voting by mail entirely.
