Otter's entire news release follows:

Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter announced today that the Payette County community of Fruitland will be Idaho’s 52nd “Capital for a Day” on Wednesday, February 15th.

Governor Otter brings State government to Idahoans living outside Boise each month by making a different town in Idaho the state’s “Capital for a Day.” The events provide local residents an all-day opportunity to have open discussions about government issues with Governor Otter, members of his Cabinet and other senior State officials.

The open meeting is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fruitland City Hall, 200 S. Whitley Drive. Governor Otter also will join Fruitland Mayor Ken Bishop and other local leaders for a noon luncheon at the same location, sponsored by Albertsons.

State officials joining Governor Otter at Capital for a Day will include Lieutenant Governor Brad Little; Celia Gould, director of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture; Paul Kjellander, president of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission; Brian Ness, director of the Idaho Transportation Department; John Chatburn, administrator of the Office of Energy Resources; Bill Deal, director of the Idaho Department of Insurance; Rich Jackson of the Idaho Tax Commission; and Tom Limbaugh, chairman of the Idaho Industrial Commission.

Also on hand to help answer questions from residents will be regional staff from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Idaho Department of Finance, Idaho Department of Labor, Idaho Department of Water Resources, and the Idaho Historical Society.

“Fruitland and Payette County represent some of the best of Idaho’s traditional agricultural heritage along with many of the issues related to growth and new economic opportunities that are challenging the limitations and responsibilities of state and local government,” Governor Otter said. “I look forward to hearing directly from local folks about their concerns, hopes and perspectives on adapting to dynamic change in southwestern Idaho.”
