Idaho's Base Level of Services with Jim Woodward

Jim Woodward is the District 1 Senator. He is deeply concerned about the basic level of services that we have in the state of Idaho, such as education and law enforcement. We, Idaho voters, are allowed to vote for or against different tax districts, but at some point, our organizations will not be able to increase efficiency and we’ll just receive a lower quality service. This is a hugely important thing to consider.
