BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter on Monday proposed eliminating Idaho’s personal property tax, a move that would cost $141 million in tax revenue but provide a boost to business leaders who say the tax is a drag on the economy.

Otter outlined his intentions for 2013 during his State of the State address where he unveiled a slightly larger state budget and discussed health care and education plans for the new legislative session.
