What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Local governments in Idaho collect property tax revenue to fund services such as schools, fire departments, and cities. The current debate centers on property taxes, which are a creature of local government. Some ideas for eliminating the local property tax burden include replacing it with limited sales taxes, though these remain thought experiments.
