Otter: It's time to return to self reliance
A return to self-reliance is the key to surviving the current hard economic times, Gov. Butch Otter told a crowd of Republican faithful at last Thursday's annual Lincoln Day luncheon, sponsored by the Elmore County Republican Part.
Otter told the gathering of Republicans that "I see our problems as opportunities," a chance to restore the primacy of the individual, adding that "I can't think of a better group of people than our party to be in charge" in Idaho at this time.
In tough economic times, Otter said, both individuals and government have to distinguish "between what is needed and what is necessary."
"We start by saying what can people do for themselves better than the government." Individuals, he said, should first look to take care of themselves and then their families." See the mountainhomenews for the complete story.
