House editorial: College supporters: Never too early to prepare for Idaho supermajority
As we move forward toward transforming Eastern Idaho Technical College into a community college in Idaho Falls, a word of caution to supporters: No matter how much sense it makes for the region and the state, the supermajority will turn this into a battle.
The supermajority, an antique portion of Idaho’s tax code, makes it tricky to be both optimistic and pragmatic. Prepare for a process of careful, slow research and gird your loins for when the backlash inevitably comes the moment there is a glimmer of anything but positive news — especially when the as-yet unformed taxing district gets their tax estimate for sustaining a community college.
Once numbers are crunched — no matter how high or low they turn out to be, and almost no matter how much support there is for moving forward – you will feel the weight of the supermajority.
