Governor defends golf tournament
Gov. Butch Otter has sent out a statement speaking out strongly in support of the annual “Governor’s Cup” golf tournament, a fundraiser for scholarships at which “there are opportunities for business people and government people to talk.” He wrote, “Yes, there is golf, trap shooting, fly fishing and other entertainment at some of the most beautiful spots on Earth, like Sun Valley last year and Coeur d’Alene in 2008. Yes, there is camaraderie and good humor and – dare I say it? – fun.” Click below for his full statement.
