Summary
Idaho ended its fiscal year with a surprising cash surplus, thanks to disciplined spending and a resilient economy despite recent tax cuts that slashed revenue. The state is starting the new fiscal year with a $250 million buffer — a rare win under its strict no-deficit constitution. But officials warn the good times won’t last, as next year’s budgets are expected to be tight, with agencies asked to submit bare-bones requests. Any extra funds will go toward critical priorities: payrolls, stalled infrastructure, schools, and wildfire response — all while keeping fiscal discipline front and center.
