The personal property tax has been a key issue for the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry (IACI) and president Alex LaBeau. Now, in a story from the Idaho Statesman, IACI has the backing of Gov. Butch Otter.

At IACI's annual public policy meeting in Sun Valley, Otter said he is committed to helping the effort to repeal the tax. "I want you to know my commitment to the personal property tax and the reduction and eventual elimination of that is undaunted."

The House majority Leader, Mike Moyle, is also in support of the repeal, saying there is currently a bill being floated around for consideration during the 2013 legislative session.
