REXBURG - An entrepreneur class at BYU-Idaho came up with a unique business idea.

They call it an "I" auction.

Students and community members alike had the opportunity to buy and sell their stuff.

"Help students make extra cash, get rid of old items in their apartment, they can put a reserve price on them and sell them for whatever they like," said Chris Poulsen.

Everything from mac computers down to shoes were sold.

Since state law requires a balanced state budget, Gov. Otter is concerned that falling tax revenue might force the state to make much deeper cuts than currently planned. What do you think about the Idaho law requiring a balanced budget?

  • It seemed like a good idea at the time, but these are unusual times. How much more can we cut out of education, etc.? We need to revisit the balanced budget law.
  • If more education funding and state services need to be cut, so be it. Sometimes it's painful to live within a budget, but it's the right thing to do.
  • Not sure.
