Otter Signs Bill Ousting Occupy Protesters
Published at(BOISE) – Idaho Gov. Butch Otter has signed a bill that will force “Occupy Boise” protesters off of state-managed property. Occupy Boise has been camping on the grounds of the old Ada County Courthouse across from the state Capitol since November. GOP lawmakers have been pushing to have them removed for over a month. The group has until Monday to vacate the property. Otter’s office maintains the the bill does not violate the protester’ rights to peaceably assemble.
