Otter PAC spent $24K at steakhouse
From Better Idaho Facebook:
The day before Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter gave his 2016 State of the State speech, he took some friends to dinner.
The bill was $24,345.90.
Technically, it was Otter’s political action committee that paid the bill, but you’ve probably already figured out who controls the Otter PAC. Better Idaho has asked the governor’s office what the occasion was, but our email has not been returned.
Here is the political expenditure report from the Secretary of State’s website (page 5 if you’re curious)
