KTVB: How do you feel about the off-again on-again, now off-again resignation?

Butch Otter: Well I understand it, you know I understand when your reputation is put at risk you know really when you come in and go out of this world you leave in terms of your reputation, and that's really all you leave with in Congress Sometimes you do have to change your mind. Now, you have to have a good reason, you have to be able to explain that, and whether or not Larry has sufficiently done that, whether or not he has good reasons I say once again I think Larry is going to have to deal with that himself. I can't blame Larry for trying to clear his name, and he thinks he has a better chance of doing that while he's still in office. I have personally told Larry, and I have said so publicly what would be best for the state obviously would be for Larry to resign, but I never asked him to resign, he still has to make that decision himself.
