Gov. Butch Otter recognized Darrell Manning, who has just retired as chairman of the Idaho Transportation Board. Manning, a former member of both houses, has served in numerous state positions over the years. "We applaud your work for the people of Idaho," Otter said to Manning. He also announced that Region 3 transportation board member Jerry Whitehead will be the new board chairman, starting in February.

Lawmakers responded with a sustained standing ovation for Manning, seen here.
