Idaho Reports Web Extra: Gov. Otter vetoes more bills (4-21-2009)

Tuesday proved to be another disastrous one for the governor. By a lopsided vote of 15-55, the House killed an amended ethanol bill that would have raised $71 million in fuel taxes for road maintenance costs. Otter responded by meeting with House and Senate GOP leaders throughout the afternoon. By 3pm, he held another press conference and vetoed a slew of additional appropriations bills. The governor reiterated his arguments for producing a multi-year plan for funding and declared his approach will better protect Idahoans. Watch this video to see how the governor responds to growing frustrations over the transportation impasse.
