Idaho Governor Butch Otter says the recently adjourned legislative session in Boise was a mixed bag of good and bad. The governor was unsatisfied with the failure by lawmakers to make progress in working to fund the state’s $240 million shortfall in future transportation needs. Otter blamed a revenue downturn for sideswiping his plan to increase state worker salaries as well as scholarships for college students. Otter also expressed disappointment in himself, saying he could have done a better job of communicating his message with Republican members of the legislature. The governor says the nearly 3 month-long session did produce good results. He lauded the deal reached to increase the rebates on grocery taxes and was pleased that differences on north Idaho field burning were settled.
