Idaho Gov. Butch Otter raised $124,941 for his re-election campaign from July to December, Idaho Statesman reporter Dan Popkey reports today, and used $50,000 of it to pay himself back for loans he made to his 2010 gubernatorial campaign. Popkey reports that most of Otter's fundraising came from corporate contributors who do business with the state or lobby state officials; you can read his full post here.

The Governor, who is not up for election for two and a half years, getting campaign money from corporations who have legislation pending which has to be signed by the Governor to become law strikes me as continuing a culture of some sort. What word best describes that?

Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt
Just like the Students come first legislation. Luna and Otter will make fortune from these out of state providers.
