Otter for Interior Secretary?

Idaho Gov Butch Otter is among the Republicans President-elect Donald Trump is supposedly considering for Interior secretary, bringing the state into the national political parlor game this Thanksgiving week. My sources have told me that Otter is on the list, but that’s something that would be pretty hard to confirm even if I was in Washington or hanging out at Trump Tower in New York. This week, Reuters included Otter on its list for the nation’s top wildlife manager and landlord of more than 500 million acres of national parks, federal rangeland and wildlife refuges. That includes more than 16 million acres in Idaho, from the Owyhee Canyonlands to Yellowstone National Park/Rocky Barker, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Would you support this appointment?
