Here’s a link to former ITD Director Pam Lowe’s whistleblower complaint filed in 4th District Court today, in her wrongful firing lawsuit against the state. The complaint includes this quote from Lowe’s last performance evaluation: “Mrs. Lowe has quickly taken charge of the Department. She excelled in reviewing the conditions of the department’s functions and making needed changes in personnel, functions, and organization. … She identified over $50 million in savings that will be directed to improved highway operations. Mrs. Lowe is an excellent manager and has exceptional ability as a professional engineer. In this rating period she has completed all assignments made by the Transportation Board.”

Sounds like Otter and a few others are in it for pay-to-play! Kudo's to Pam for not caving to Otter's demands to reward his 'big' contributors. Otter is selling out Idaho piece by piece. Time for some new blood in Boise. He says he is for Idaho's rights but he sure doesn't walk the walk.
