Gov. Little’s 2024 State of the State and Budget Address
Boise, Idaho Jan. 8, 2024 – Governor Brad Little delivered his 2024 State of the State and Budget Address, outlining his IDAHO WORKS plan to keep Idaho strong.
“When we look back at what we’ve done over the past six years, I can’t believe it was ever possible. We made decisions that positioned our state to propel ahead in our economic performance. We strategically and thoughtfully deployed relief funds and balanced the needs of our growing state with returning more money back to the people of Idaho than ever before. What Idaho is doing is WORKING. There’s no need to change course, and we must raise the bar,” Governor Little said.
Among many highlights, Governor Little’s IDAHO WORKS plan proposes:
Historic Investment In School Facilties, Property Tax Relief – Governor Little proposes the largest ever state investment in school facilities – $2 billion over 10 years – to ensure all districts have the resources necessary to address unmet capital construction needs and improve student achievement. The $2 billion is long-term property tax relief. The budget also includes up to $150 million in NEW property tax relief through the surplus eliminator, on top of the hundreds of millions in property tax relief already directed to Idahoans over the past year.
