Stop taxing Girl Scout cookies, Lori Otter insists, but key Idaho senator blocks her

[TexasTowelie]

Lori Otter could be described as graceful, charming, elegant or any of the other labels commonly applied to wives of powerful men in the public eye.

But Otter, wife of Idaho Gov. Butch Otter and CEO of a new nonprofit encouraging women to ascend to leadership positions, would rather be described as confident, articulate and tough.

“Miss Lori,” as her husband calls her, graduated from Kimberly High School before earning an associate’s degree at the College of Southern Idaho, a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Boise State University, and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Northwest Nazarene University. She worked for 12 years in public education, teaching physical education and health classes, and coaching basketball and volleyball, before entering administration after earning her master’s.

As first lady, Otter helped launch the Idaho Meth Project and its mission to reduce methamphetamine use in the state. This year, the nonprofit adopted a new name, the Idaho Prevention Project, and started a new billboard and media campaign focusing on the dangers of prescription drugs. Otter serves on the project’s board.

I'd rather see religious institutions taxed. Yep.
