“We’re all in this together,” Otter told the assembled lawmakers, officials and onlookers. “We have the talent, the intelligence, the will and most of all the people to get through this - smarter, tougher, and better than ever, and we will.” He added, “It will require us all to look beyond the next election, and the next budget, to the next generation of Idahoans who will be reaping the harvest we sow, for good or ill.”

“We’re all in this together”
Maybe I missed it… where in the speech did he say what percentage he was cutting out of his salary?

MountainGoat, he means the rest of us are in this together. He is worth tens of millions, he could forgo his pay and he wouldn’t even notice it.
I still want him to pledge he won’t raise the “hidden” taxes, aka “fees” in order to make up the difference. If he does raise fees, when the economy comes back, our total burden will be higher. The government budgets will be larger because the higher fees will be here to stay and the taxes go up with a better economy.
