Jeers: Otter Runs From His Record

In his weekly Cheers & Jeers column, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune gives jeers to … Idaho Gov. C.L “Butch” Otter:

But all of this started in the winter of 2010, when Otter proposed eliminating the department, splitting it between the state departments of Lands and Fish and Game. Otter complained to Russell that he did no such thing. He insisted he was merely sending a message to an insubordinate agency. Not so. More here.
