Kendrick letter: Medical school

An unsigned editorial in the Idaho Statesman was critical of Governor Otter as related to the newly approved medical school in Idaho. This long-discussed project finally has become a reality. The editorial seemed to forecast gloom and doom for the new medical school. “Chicken Little, the sky is falling.” Congratulations to Gov. Butch Otter and Idaho State University President Arthur Vailas for, at long last, bringing a much-needed medical school to our state.

Budd Kendrick, Boise
