Chairman Larry Kenck of the Idaho Democratic Party responds to Gov. Butch Otter's State of the State Address:

Eight years have taught Idahoans that we need to pay more attention to what Governor Otter does than what he says he does. Yes, Governor Otter, Idaho learns. But we have yet to see whether you and your Administration does. What has Governor Otter brought to Idaho? For one, Otter and 20 years of failed GOP policies gave us the highest percentage of minimum wage jobs in the nation. Idaho is at the lowest level of education investment in America. Idahoans have made it clear that we do not believe workers, families, businesses and children should be in last place. We want the best opportunities to keep our children in Idaho. That means focusing on high-paying jobs and investing in quality education—not luring businesses on the promise of low wages as Gov. Otter has done in recent years. More here.

Question: Is it wise to watch what Gov. Butch Otter does rather than what he says?
