Boise-based Micron and two of its subsidiaries are three of the top five<\/a> business personal property tax payers in Ada County.<\/p>\n

<\/del>In 2011, Micron paid more than $2.9 million. MP Mask Technology Center, a joint venture between Micron and Photronics Inc. paid almost $1 million, and shuttered Micron joint venture Transform Holdings Inc. (Transform Solar)<\/a> paid nearly $440,000.<\/p>\n

So, Micron stands to gain the most in Ada County, and arguably the state, if Idaho lawmakers nix the personal property tax<\/a><\/del>. Micron knows it.<\/p>\n

Micron government affairs spokesman Mike Reynoldson says the company is working with lawmakers and the business lobby Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry to eliminate the tax.<\/p>\n
