Gov. Butch Otter has released another op-ed piece to media across the state, this time pushing lawmakers not to put off transportation improvements because of budget concerns. “Simply put, the cost of addressing our transportation infrastructure needs is growing daily,” Otter said in the article. “Putting it off will cost us hundreds of millions of dollars more in years to come.” He closed with this: “My sense – backed up by many of you – is that Idahoans are ready to make measured, responsible, consistent investments in a safer, cleaner, more efficient transportation future. So as I told legislators as they started this year’s session: Let’s get to work!”
Of course, Otter has been recuperating at his Star ranch since his Jan. 29 hip surgery. Lawmakers are in their seventh week of legislating this session. Click below to read the full piece.
