“I have had tremendous support from folks in the Legislature, at the local level, at the county precinct level. My effort is to help those folks in operations within the party, help those folks stay in the Legislature. … How is that different from any other PAC?" -- Idaho Gov. Butch Otter @ AP Legislative Preview this morning re: his controversial political action committee.

Also:

• Otter on PAC, session length, lawsuits
• House, Senate H&W chairs applaud gap proposal
• Otter on Planned Parenthood, tax cuts, Burns protest
• Otter hits at higher ed funding boost, public defender reform

Question: Izzit just me, or do you find yourself in agreement with several things that the governor said today that he plans to do?
