BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Idaho’s gubernatorial candidates threw jabs at one another while participating in the latest governor debate focusing on the state’s economic health, education funding and same-sex marriage.
Republican Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter repeated arguments used in prior debates pointing out that his Democratic opponent A.J. Balukoff did not have the experience or the knowledge to take over the office.
Meanwhile, Boise businessman and school board president Balukoff says that Idaho schools have failed under Otter’s past two terms while wages have remained low across the state.
Constitutional candidate Steve Pankey also participated in Tuesday’s debate hosted by KTVB, and focused mainly on adding more diversity to Idaho’s Land Board.
