PL TF'ORM Ltax relief. If this bill passes, and Andrus does not veto .it, BoiseState's request for funding of Phase n of the Science-Educationbuilding will be lost.Classroomutilizationat BSU is nearing100 per cent.Theadditional classroom space Phase D would provide is very muchneeded.And while tax relief is a noble gesture, the benefits toordinary tax payers will be. little.For eumple, the tax relief to the owner of a 35,000 homewould ouly be approximatelyS22 a year. Those who wouldbenefit the"mostfrom this measureare COrporations; IdahoPower, IntermountainGas, Mountain Bell, and so on. They owntherefore they stand to receive more in tax relief,is what could be called a rich get richer, poor getpoorer bill, somethingIdaho can do without.And, sad as it may be, there is a funding race between themore property,This measureinstitutionsdifferencelegislatorsof higherlearningin the state.However,there is abetween the northern and southern areas in Idaho; thefrom the north vote to support their regional school.In this instance, Ada County legislators, with the exceptions ofH. Dean Summers and Vernon Brassey, didn't.They voted infavor of the relief bill and amendmentsto it, or indirectly againstBoise State.Hopefully, by the time the final vote is called, the legislatorswiJl realize what the bill really is and vote against it. If not,perhaps Governor Andrus will stand by his convictions and vetoit.
