But where's the candy and flowers?  Idaho's own 'Butch' Otter must be in rut:  The Guv sent a 'love letter' to businesses in neighboring states where voters have approved progressive taxes.  This crie de coeur promises companies a balmy business climate just across the stateline.  But what it delivers amounts to a cheap one night stand:  Business tax-wise, Oregon ranks 14th nationwide.  Idaho is 18th. Romance may be in the air, but 'Butch's' math is in the tank...the heart is a lonely hunter...Or as they say in Idaho, Esta perpetua...

'Corpersons' in Oregon who did not succumb to Otter Love, are still riding high:  The Oregon Supreme Court will visit Medford to hear a citizen's group's appeal of a Walmart Supercenter planned for construction - nearly 200 thousand square feet of construction.  And here's the trade-off:  a few hundred temporary jobs get the thing up, then a handful of low-wage jobs churning a river of revenue out of the state and straight into the corporate coffers back in Bentonville, Arkansas.
