[Vision2020] Governors New Clothes

[Dick Schmidt]

Tim,

I spent a few days in Boise this week and one of the talking heads on the 
radio made the statement that Governor Dork probably wouldn't be living in 
the new mansion as they are going to remodel it first and that probably his 
son-in-law or ex-son-in-law, Butch Otter would be living there. I wasn't 
listening very closely as something was also said about him (Otter) being 
Simplot's son-in-law or ex-son-in-law. Do you know the low down on that? Has 
Otter been married to both Kempthorn's daughter and Simplot's daughter?
