Beyond the Books: Analyzing the Supreme Court’s Tax Credit Ruling and Looming Budget Cuts

Decisions made within the walls of the Idaho Statehouse or during local school board meetings rarely stay confined to those rooms. Instead, they eventually manifest in the contents of your child’s backpack and the final total on your property tax bill. To help you navigate this complex intersection of policy and personal finance, Local News 8 is proud to launch a new weekly partnership titled Beyond the Books.

Each week, we'll be joined by the team at Idaho Education News to break down the legislative headlines and upcoming changes that every Idaho parent and taxpayer needs to know.

In our inaugural segment, we tackle two significant developments emerging from Boise that carry statewide implications. Devin Bodkin from Idaho Ed News joins us to provide a detailed breakdown of the recent Idaho Supreme Court ruling regarding the state’s new private education tax credit.

Beyond the courtroom, we are also following a developing story from the state’s budget committee.
