Democratic candidate for governor Keith Allred said today that he's against the proposed mega-loads of oil equipment proposed to travel along Idaho's narrow and scenic U.S. Highway 12 in north-central Idaho, for which current Gov. Butch Otter has been an enthusiastic proponent. "In an Allred administration, these trucks wouldn't get permits," Allred said. "There simply are not good enough answers to the questions Idaho citizens have raised about these shipments." You can read Allred's full announcement here.
