SALT LAKE CITY — The Idaho State Legislature has introduced a memorial criticizing the Utah State Legislature over a bill that would rework the fuel tax that Utahns pay.
It openly criticizes a pending bill that would cut the gas tax consumers pay in Utah by 50% and impose a tax on refineries by the same amount.
It also said the Utah bill would spark "a plague of new ‘tit for tat’ taxes and fees to be borne by non-residents."
When told of the filing in the Idaho State Legislature, Republican political leaders on Utah's Capitol Hill did not seem impressed.
Speaker Moyle told Idaho News 6 he hoped Utah's legislature would back off of the bill.
