Boundary County is Capitol for a Day |
April 24, 2014 |
Governor
Butch Otter is bringing the State Government to
Boundary County. The Governor will be in
Boundary County on Friday, April 25. The “Capitol for a Day” is designed to allow citizens the opportunity to engage with him 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 “Capitol for a Day” will be held here in Boundary County at the Fairgrounds on Friday, April 25. The day will start off with the presentation of the colors at 9:00 a.m., with 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. This event is open to the public, with an optional lunch provided for $12. Please call (208) 267-2242 or (208) 267-7723 to reserve or purchase your lunch tickets, we need to get a tentative count for lunch. 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, etc., bring your questions and plan on attending “Boundary County’s Capitol for a Day.” Please ask your questions, share your opinions and seek answers from state agencies. Governor Otter began his first “Capitol for a Day” in Boundary County, and we thank him for another opportunity to address our issues. |
