Otter backs West Ada trustee recall

Tina Dean, a West Ada trustee facing recall Tuesday, criticized Gov. Butch Otter Thursday for supporting the move to turn her out of office as an example of the “politically elite protecting their inner circle.” “I’ve never met Gov. Otter,” she said. “I am sure he is a very nice man.” The support of Otter and others like him is an example of the politically powerful not wanting people in policy-making roles who will raise questions, she told the Idaho Statesman. Otter and First Lady Lori Otter top a list of 18 lawmakers, education leaders, politicians and organizations backing the recall of two West Ada School District trustees, recall backers announced Thursday/ Bill Roberts , Idaho Statesman.
