How is a “Respond to Inflation” Special Legislative Session?

What is happening? Idaho will have a special legislative session to a dress the cost of inflation. 3 items on the agenda: flat individual and corporate income tax rate of at least 5.8%; more tax rebates by the end of the year; and dedicated funding of no less than $410 million for public education.

Why is this important? States have been responding to inflation in many ways- chefs to residents, tax credits, tax free gas, and more…

How will this be important? Starting a special session on September 1st and November 8th is what again? Oh, yes midterm elections… I’m not cynical, oh, wait, yes, yes I am.
