LEGISLATURE: 'Thanks' for tax filing changes

As I was trying to get tax forms and instructions to file my state income taxes, I found that the Idaho legislature had decided to stop printing these forms and instructions and everyone had to get them online. Last year I simply went to the Athol library and picked them up. This year you must do it online. 

I realize that North Idaho is famous for its high-speed broadband, but I don’t have that connectivity and capability at my place. Add to that fact I am an Old Retired Army Guy who isn’t that great with the internet. 

So, I thought I should write this letter to thank the legislators that represent North Idaho for making it more difficult and expensive to file my state income taxes. Keep up the great work in cutting costs for us taxpayers.
