Otter names Gwartney to head Admin
Gov. Butch Otter has named his transition director and longtime friend, Mike Gwartney, to head the state Department of Administration, now that former state Controller Keith Johnson has left that post to work for Oracle. Gwartney is a former Boise Cascade executive who headed Otter’s transition team both when he was elected governor, and when he was elected to Congress in 2000.
