Taxes

[WMSteed@aol.com]

In this AM's Lewiston Morning Tribune, Jim Fisher wrote in an editorial 
entitled, "Pull the brake on Idaho's crackpot tax-cut train" that, sponsors 
of the $41 million tax cut introduced in the Idaho House Wednesday "would 
produce a public school appropriation $15 million lower than Gov. 
Kempthorne's recommended amount. And Kempthorne's proposed budget is not 
generous."

With the number of school and legislative types on this list, I suspect 
someone can advise what amount the $15 million reduction creates in relation 
to the last couple of year's actual school appropriations?  This seems like a 
more meaningful piece of information.
