Foolish Lawmakers pulling for outdoor superstore in Post Falls
KHQ-TV
BOISE, ID.. - Legislators from North Idaho hope a tax refund bill will help lure outdoor retailer Cabela's to Post Falls. Representative Frank Henderson, a Republican from Post Falls who is co-sponsoring the bill, said Cabela's is considering building a store off Interstate 90. Representative Bob Nonini from Coeur d'Alene is also co-sponsoring the legislation. Henderson says the bill now being drafted would give the retailer a sales tax refund to build an interchange to the store. The bill would provide Cabela's a 75 percent tax refund until they recover costs for the construction. Estimated costs for the interchange are about $12 million.
