IFF official: What happened to Otter?

What happened to Butch Otter over the past year? In January 2015, Gov. Butch Otter gave his final Inaugural Address. This past Monday, a year later, he gave his State of the State address. The difference between his words in 2015 and actions since is stark. In his 2015 address, the governor seemingly channeled Patrick Henry. He noted how Idahoans are connected by “blood, soil, and tears” to their state. He emphasized “his commitment to liberty,” and encouraged anyone who doubted his “commitment to resisting with all that I am those federal policies that undermine the tenets of federalism or state sovereignty, watch closely over the next four years.” Well, we watched closely and wonder why we endured another year of federal land mis-management — with no call to action from the governor/ Fred Birnbaum , Idaho Freedom Foundation VP.

<strong>Question: So you see state control of federal land isn’t a pipe dream conjured by the Malheur militia in Oregon. Thoughts?</strong>
