Idaho lawmakers await possible Special Session

There is still no official word that a special session is going to be called, but it’s looking more and more like it could be happening soon.

If there is a special session, the idea would be to siphon some money from the state’s record surplus, provide some immediate tax relief for Idahoans struggling to keep up with inflation — and let the politicians run on this come November.

Only Governor Brad Little can call a special session.

The biggest reason the special session is expected has to do with Idaho’s surplus, which is expected exceed $2 billion, shattering the $1.3 billion projection from just last month.
