Little highlights tax cuts, but braces for economic uncertainty
- Governor Brad Little highlighted $400 million in tax cuts from the 2025 Idaho legislative session during a press conference in Nampa on May 19, 2025.
- The Legislature expanded tax cuts well beyond Little's proposed $100 million, combined with bills altering income, sales, and property taxes amid concerns about future revenue impacts.
- Additional budget uncertainty arises from proposed federal cuts to Medicaid and SNAP programs, with Idaho Rep. Russ Fulcher involved as a committee member reviewing a plan to reduce federal health provisions by at least $715 billion.
- The state passed House Bill 345 to add Medicaid work requirements and shift program administration to managed care, a $4-5 billion effort involving state and federal funds, while also approving House Bill 93 to allow $50 million in tax credits for private K-12 education.
- Little expressed concern for long-term budget stability and future economic slowdown despite current growth, emphasizing the need to maintain a $200 million rainy day fund and advocating for Idaho's efficiency in managing federal funds.
