    Idaho residents will see an increase in taxes due to supporting all the new public schools, services and infrastructure. The newly acquired Oregon county residents will now have to pay income taxes. They will also bring a portion of the Oregon state debt that Idaho will now have to pay because Idaho’s constitution won’t allow state debt. Meanwhile the new smaller Oregon won’t have near as many welfare counties to support and will be able to lower the remaining residents taxes.
