Washington to Idaho: ‘Bring it’

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter sent an open letter to businesses in Washington and Oregon inviting them to come to Idaho in the face of tax increases. Washington state’s Commerce Director Rogers Weed says not so fast and details the business advantages Washington has over Idaho.

IDAHO Gov. Butch Otter’s "love letter" to neighboring states has generated a lot of debate and hand-wringing recently over which of our two states is better for business.

Washington is home to some of the most innovative companies in the world. We have attracted and nurtured groundbreaking businesses and entrepreneurs in a healthy diversity of industries for many years.

Don’t get me wrong, we can’t rest on our laurels. Like all states we are continually improving.
