Eye on Boise: Otter’s housing stipend to resume - Sun, 19 May 2013 PST
BOISE – Former longtime chief state economist Mike Ferguson analyzed the latest state tax revenue news – which showed revenues surging 13.2 percent over forecasts for April, the biggest tax revenue month of the year – and concluded that lawmakers likely will have $162 million more on hand when they convene their 2014 legislative session than they thought they would two months ago, at the close of this year’s session. “While the numbers will change (for example, we don’t yet know actual May and June revenue numbers, and we don’t know what revised forecast growth rate will be used for FY 2014), it is clear there will be substantially more revenue available than policymakers thought less than two months ago,” Ferguson writes. “How this additional revenue is utilized will depend on Idaho’s public policy priorities.”

A Coeur d'Alene home and mold inspection is no different than a Hayden home inspection, or a home inspection in Post Falls. The difference is in the home inspector. Remember, In Idaho, anyone with a flashlight and a stepladder may call themselves a “home inspector”. Beware of self-proclaimed “certifications”! Only InterNACHI Home Inspectors must successfully pass an examination before being accepted and Certified; over 70% of the applicants fail the exam. Many other inspector "societies" simply allow applicants to send in their membership fee, with no prior experience or testing.
