There was intense interest in Gov. Butch Otter's announcement today on new state budget cuts; this shot shows the line-up of TV cameras at the press conference. Not visible are many additional reporters and photographers (including me) who were ranged around the sides of the room. The governor's office has posted several audio clips of the press conference here, here, here, here and here; the first four are Otter speaking, and the fifth is state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna. And you can click below to watch the uncut video of the entire thing, thanks to Idaho Public TV.
