[8] Idaho Governor Appoints New NPCC Member

Incoming Idaho Gov. Butch Otter has replaced Judi Danielson, one of the state's representatives to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, with Bill Booth, a member of the governor's transition team.

Danielson, a Council member since 2001, was targeted for removal by conservation groups after she wrote an editorial in the Idaho Statesman in favor of keeping lower Snake dams in place. She chaired the council in 2003 and 2004.

Booth, a former vice president of environmental planning for Hecla Mining and a member of Trout Unlimited, took over at the mid-month Council meeting in Vancouver, Wash. He is the second member of Otter's transition team to be appointed to a high-level statewide position.

Idaho's other council member, Jim Kempton, will remain in his present position. -B. R.
