Elgar will help economy by boosting Idaho wages

| September 24, 2008 9:00 PM

Steve Elgar, candidate for the Idaho House of Representatives, will help our economy by achieving his goals of higher wages, more jobs and lower taxes on working people.

Directly affecting everyone's wallet, Steve wants to eliminate taxes on groceries and to lower  property taxes by freezing the assessed value at the purchase price. Steve thinks that big businesses do not need special tax breaks whereas small business and the self-employed do need them. He will work for affordable health care. Using tax policy, he will help businesses and the self-employed provide insurance.

He has worked hard to reach residents of North Idaho personally so that we could attach a face to these very important issues. Steve Elgar is the right man for the job.
