Idaho governor pitches pay-to-drive program

Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter says the state could raise money for needed transportation projects by charging drivers for how much they drive.
Otter described the proposal to about 150 people attending an Idaho Falls City Club Forum on Monday, the Post Register reported.
"I believe in user-based pay," Otter said.
