Midvale, Idaho residents say Gov. Otter has abandoned rural Idaho

"If I had been your mother, I would have come up there and spanked your little butt," said the retiree from Indian Valley.

Gov. Butch Otter spent six hours Tuesday fending off accusations he’s abandoned rural Idaho and surrendered state sovereignty to the U.S. government.

Doris Baker told Otter that she saw him on TV vetoing bills last week and found him wanting.

"If I had been your mother, I would have come up there and spanked your little butt," said the retiree from Indian Valley. "You say that you’re for the people of this state, then you better start showing it and don’t let the Forest Service and these environmental groups tell us what to do."
