Wally: Paranoid Otter Ushers In 1984, Idaho Style

RE: Otter Watching Idaho agencies’ contact with media
Not only is this paranoia of the highest order, it’s harmful to the public good. Government agenices are not always on the same page, which is natural and healthy, if the conflict is honest and open. To line up all the troops and not allow open discussion of the issues that these agencies are quite often at odds over, then the public really doesn’t get to see its government at work. It’s like the Republicans closing their caucuses and deciding what it going to happen during the Legislature before the session ever even adjourns. It’s like the Republicans closing their primary elections to party members only. It’s like … “1984”! It’s bad, IT’S BAD! Really. I’m not joking, in the slightest/ Wally.

Sisyphus sez Otter has control issues

Question: Is Wally over-stating the case? Or has Gov. Butch Otter stepped way over the line?
