Fairgrounds to be 'Capital for a Day'
April 7, 2014
Idaho Governor Butch Otter is bringing the State Government to Boundary County when he visits on Friday, April 25, bringing part of Boise with him. The “Capital for a Day” program is designed to allow citizens the opportunity to engage with the governor and his staff regarding any concern or problem they are experiencing in dealing with an issue in the state governmental process.

Governor Otter believes in keeping in touch with all Idahoans. He also knows that the strength of our Republic relies on an engaged and informed citizenry.

The meetings provide local residents an opportunity to have an open discussion about their government, issues and public policy with Governor Otter and his cabinet.

This month’s “Capital for a Day” will start off at 9 a.m. at the fairgrounds with the presentation of the colors, a welcome to Governor Otter and the introduction of his cabinet members and agency representatives.

Questions will begin from the audience and continue until a break for lunch at noon and then questions will resume shortly after lunch until about 3 p.m.

This event is open to the public, with an optional lunch provided for $12 per person.

Please call (208) 267-2242 or (208) 267-7723 to reserve or purchase your lunch tickets as soon as possible as organizers need to get a tentative count for lunch.

Also, please notify the Boundary County Commissioners at (208) 267-7723 of the area of concern that you wish to address. This is important to the meeting, so the Governor may have the appropriate representative of that agency in attendance.

So whether you have questions on our highways, air quality, education, natural resource issues, wildlife, or anything else of importance to Idaho, bring your questions and plan on attending “Boundary County’s Capital for a Day."

Please plan to attend, ask your questions, share your opinions and seek answers from our governor and state agencies!

Governor Otter began his first “Capital for a Day” program right here in Boundary County, and he's since carried the state capital with him for "Capital for a Day" events to all 44 counties in the state, and it's good to welcome him back for another opportunity to address our issues.
