Hospital releases Gov. Otter
Idaho Gov. Butch Otter was released from the hospital today after being admitted on July 14 for his second back surgery in a week, and then remaining hospitalized for treatment for a post-surgery infection.
“He is continuing to recover,” said his press secretary, Jon Hanian. “The new information is now he’s recovering at home, which we are delighted to be able to say.”
Otter has continued to work throughout his hospitalization, but Lt. Gov. Brad Little took over as acting governor whenever the governor was undergoing surgery or other procedures that required general or local anesthesia/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
