Federal employees throughout the state are no longer working, several agencies are no longer open, and local recreation areas are closed as well. On Tuesday, KTVB sat down with Gov. Butch Otter to find out how Idahoans will be affected by the partial government shut down. Otter tells us he's hearing it could be two or three weeks before this shut down is over. He says during that time, most Idahoans won't see much change, but there are services that are no longer available for your family. "I have never seen it this rancorous, I've never seen it so divided," said Otter. Otter says he's simply disappointed that both parties in Congress refused to compromise -- leaving Americans without some federal services/Karen Zatkulak, KTVB. More here.
