There’s a very light turnout for today’s Tax Working Group hearing on four tax-cut bills; there are only about a dozen and a half people in the audience at the Lincoln Auditorium. “We thought we might have a little bit bigger crowd today, but I’m sure there are a lot that will be following the efforts that go on today,” said Co-Chair Rep. Gary Collins, R-Nampa. “I think we’ve exposed and looked at a lot of issues that needed to be addressed,” he said. “Today the focus of the meeting will be on some drafts. We have some things that we proposed, the committee as a whole proposed, that we needed to look at in a little more depth. I want to emphasize that these are just drafts.”
