Idaho Advertising Tax Update
JEBCommerce is located in Coeur d’Alene Idaho. We’ve been watching, supporting and learning about the advertising tax issue from afar for the last few years. The leadership that Beth Kirsch, Brook Schaaf, Karen Garcia, Jen Goode, Jeanine Crooks, Rebecca Madigan and many others (sorry if I left anyone out), has inspired me to reach out to our elected officials in Idaho to see if they know what the advertising tax is, if it is being proposed in Idaho and what, if anything, myself and my company can do in this state.
This past Saturday, my wife and I attended a political fundraiser where many of our elected state officials were attending. Thevideo above is a recap of that event and our success in speaking to several representatives and even our governor, Butch Otter.
In the end, for those of you who don’t want to watch the video, nothing is going on in Idaho. No advertising tax is being proposed and it looks like this state is safe. I want to thank Governor Otter and the other senators for spending so much time with me this weekend discussing this issue. I also want to give a big shout out to Phil Thompson of Confidential Investigations. Phil personally introduced me to our officials and without him I wouldn’t have been able to have so many good conversations.
Keep up the good fight guys!
