The Taxpayer Money Bill
Idaho bill would stop taxpayer money for government unions
Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the prohibition of taxpayer funding of government unions.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would ban using state tax dollars to fund government employee unions, forcing them to rely on member dues.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could keep more of their tax money, but public workers may lose union support and have to pay more themselves, so the balance matters as the bill moves forward.
