Quotable Quote — Gov. Butch Otter

“And I said, “Listen,  I was born in a family of nine kids in Caldwell, Idaho and I have lived on farms and ranches and raised horses all my life, and I would tell you without any equivocation whatsoever, that if California were my horse, I would shoot it….I would put it down. Obviously, easier said than done” -- Gov. Butch Otter to annual meeting of the Idaho Credit Union League Government Affairs Conference today at the Boise Centre on the Grove in downtown Boise.

Question: What would you do with a state like California?
