In the second four-year term that he's now beginning, Gov. Butch Otter says he plans no changes in his approach to the job. "The changes that we've made now have to be institutionalized, they have to become the standard operating procedure," he said. "That's going to continue to improve only with a change in the culture of government, that the government can't be all things to all people." He said, "We haven't successfully changed the culture in government."
