Post Falls Chamber: Chambers play a vital role

I love the work we do. Chambers of Commerce are essential for businesses in several key ways. We foster networking and partnerships by creating opportunities for businesses to connect. We advocate for local businesses by speaking up on local, regional and national levels, ensuring their concerns are heard by policymakers and helping to shape favorable business conditions. We provide a hub of valuable resources, such as information, training and mentorship programs, to help businesses thrive and grow. We actively promote local businesses and the community, attracting customers, investors and tourists through our marketing efforts. We support initiatives that improve the area's quality of life and infrastructure, making it more attractive to residents and businesses alike. Our work plays a vital role in supporting the economic vitality of our community, and it is an honor to do this work.

Inflation, credit ratings warrant action, not celebration

Since President Biden’s Inauguration, inflation has cost Idaho families, raising monthly expenses in November an additional $984. In other words, it costs Idahoans $11,807 more this past year to afford the same standard of living as roughly three years ago, according to data from U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee Republican Staff. The White House’s celebration of prices rising slower than record paces is hollow when inflation-fueled prices have increased so drastically and continue to erode paychecks.

Little sets school buildings, water infrastructure and transportation as top priorities

Idaho Gov. Brad Little has unveiled a plan to boost Idaho's education, water and transportation infrastructure during his annual "State of the State" address. Little presented his proposal to lawmakers gathered at the Statehouse for the first day of the legislative session Monday. He says too many of Idaho's school buildings are neglected and falling apart, and said a $2 billion investment in school facilities over 10 years would serve as a form of long-term property tax relief. Idaho's school facilities are largely funded through property taxes, and districts often must ask voters to approve levies to fix leaky roofs or otherwise improve buildings. Little also proposed funding to improve transportation and boost water capacity during drought.
