“My priority is still my entire education package,” Gov. Butch Otter told reporters in his annual address to the Idaho Press Club this morning. He said 68 percent of his proposed budget for next year goes to “K-through-career” education, and he stands by that. Otter also said he’s signed the annual IRS tax conformity bill into law – “so people can start filing their income taxes now.”
