Cecil Andrus, Idaho Icon, Dies at 85 Posted: August 25, 2017 3:56 P.M Cecil Andrus, Idaho icon, dies at 85 Posted: August 25, 2017 3:56 p.m. Former Idaho governor and Interior Secretary Cecil D. Andrus poses for a photo at his office in Boise in 2014. Andrus, who engineered the conservation of millions of acres of Alaska land during the Carter administration, has died. He was 85. Andrus died late Thursday, Aug. 24, 2017 of complications from lung cancer, daughter Tracy Andrus said. Katherine Jones / Idaho Statesman via AP, File By BETSY Z. RUSSELL The Spokesman-Review Cecil Andrus, Idaho’s longest-serving governor, former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Democrat and champion of wilderness and the Idaho outdoors, died late Thursday after a battle with cancer, the night before his 86th birthday. “This is one of those times when you can really say it marks the passing of an era,” Marc Johnson, Andrus’ former chief of staff and press secretary, said on Facebook. “And I fear they aren’t making them like this any more … a great, great man.” Andrus died at home, surrounded by his family and with his beloved bird dog, Maisy, by his side. He is survived by his wife Carol — they were married in 1949 — and by daughters Tana, Tracy and Kelly and grandchildren Monica, Morgan and Andrew and great granddaughter Casey. Johnson said while it’s a sad day, it’s also a “wonderful opportunity to focus for a few minutes on the guy’s incredible impact and legacy. … It’s quite an astounding story.” An Orofino lumberjack spurred to run for office by concerns over the local schools, Andrus became an Idaho icon who, after big fights, brought kindergarten to Idaho; increased school funding; halted a major coal power plant proposed near Boise; and engineered protection of Idaho’s famed wilderness areas. “He’s one of the giants of Idaho politics and one of the most effective governors in Idaho history,” said longtime Idaho political observer Jim Weatherby, an emeritus professor at Boise State University. “His priorities were clear. … Andrus was a strong leader who also knew the fine art of compromise.” “The electoral stuff kind of speaks for itself, winning four times in three decades in a very Republican state, winning as a Democrat,” Johnson said. “But the fact that he was able to accomplish as much as he did in the Legislature, and be a wonderful guy that people liked to be around — I was telling somebody this morning I think the secret sauce for his success was that he really liked people, and he loved to mix it up and have a good time and talk to people and joke around and engage them, and he was a real person — comfortable in his own skin, I think.” Miranda Marquit, chairwoman of the Bonneville County Democratic Central Committee, said Andrus serves as an inspiration for the party. “He was a true Idahoan, statesman, and champion of Democratic ideals,” Marquit said. “We aspire to be like him and work to continue his legacy in Idaho.” It was education — concerns about the local schools as his oldest daughter started elementary school — that first got Andrus into politics. He served four terms in the state Senate before first running for governor in 1966. “I’m the only person in America that has run for governor twice in the same year and lost both times,” he said in an interview in May 2016. Andrus lost the primary to Charles Herndon, but then Herndon died in a plane crash, and Andrus became the Democratic nominee, but lost the general election. Four years later, he challenged GOP Gov. Don Samuelson and won. Andrus attributed his victory to traveling the state widely and making the case that Idaho had enough revenue, but it wasn’t putting enough of it into education. “They kept wanting to give it away, just like they are today,” he said, through tax cuts. He was re-elected as governor and then named Interior secretary under President Jimmy Carter, where he was known for securing the passage of the Alaska Lands Act, among other accomplishments. “Governor Andrus will rightly be remembered as a legend in the conservation field,” Rep. Mike Simpson said in a release. “It was fitting that he cut his political teeth protecting Castle Peak as I think they both have a lot in common. They are giants in Idaho and icons to those who believe conservation is a necessity and not a luxury.” Idaho Falls attorney Tim Hopkins, a Republican, was a personal friend to Andrus, and they both worked to fight a molybdenum mine proposed at the base of the White Clouds Range’s most iconic peak. “He was certainly the greatest governor of Idaho in my lifetime,” Hopkins said. “He was responsible for such important work, not only for Idaho, but for the nation, particularly in terms of conservation.” After returning to private life, Andrus ran for governor again in 1986 and was both elected and re- elected. He famously closed the state’s borders to nuclear waste shipments in 1989, launching a fight against the federal government over waste headed for what is now the Idaho National Laboratory site that Andrus continued waging until his death. “All Idahoans owe Gov. Andrus a debt of gratitude,” INL Director Mark Peters said. “The agreement instigated by Gov. Andrus and implemented by Gov. Batt drastically improved our environment and provided a foundation that allowed INL to become one of our nation’s lead research and development laboratories. “I valued every interaction with Gov. Andrus. His knowledge, toughness, tenacity and sense of humor will be greatly missed. Gov. Andrus was an Idaho original. He meant what he said and stood for what he believed.” Education and the environment dominated Andrus’ agenda as governor, both in his first two terms, before he became secretary of the interior, and his later two. “There were only two states in America that didn’t have kindergartens, and it was Mississippi and Idaho,” he recalled. “We were tied for last. But it took me five sessions of the Legislature to get it passed.” “We were also increasing the funding for 1-12 — now it’s K-12,” he said. He recalled Idaho teachers taking jobs across the state line and commuting because the pay was so much higher elsewhere. “If you want good teachers, you’ve got to compete.” He went toe-to-toe with Idaho Power Co. — which some at the time joked was so powerful in the early 1970s that the state had been named after it — to halt a proposed coal-burning power plant 30 miles from the state Capitol. In addition to serious health and economic concerns, Andrus said the proposed plant would have “made Boise a far less attractive place to live.” Wilderness designations were landmarks of Andrus’ career, including fighting against logging interests to establish the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Always an avid outdoorsman, Andrus said in May 2016, “I have hunted and fished every year, all my life, and I still do.” Funeral arrangements, which will be private, are planned for Wednesday in Boise. A public lying-in- state ceremony will follow at noon Wednesday in the Idaho Capitol rotunda and continue until noon Aug. 31. A public memorial service is planned for 2 p.m. Thursday in the Jordan Ballroom of the Boise State University student union. Andrus’ career is unique in the GOP-dominated Gem State. When he was first elected governor in 1970, he was the first Democrat elected Idaho governor in 24 years; his election launched a matching 24 years of Democratic control of Idaho’s governorship that didn’t end until Republican Phil Batt succeeded him in 1994. Now, Idaho’s been under GOP control for 23 years – it’ll be 24 years next year, when Gov. Butch Otter retires after three terms, leaving an open seat for what’s expected to be a hotly contested election. — Reporter Bryan Clark contributed to this story.

  • Batt: 'If Backing Equal Protection Makes Me a RINO, So Be
    Batt: ‘If backing equal protection makes me a RINO, so be it’ BY PHILIP E. BATT Former Idaho Gov. Phil Batt delivered these remarks Wednesday evening at the Canyon County Lincoln Day Banquet in Nampa. This year marks the 20th anniversary of my inauguration as governor, the first Idaho Republican governor in the previous 20 years. Our party was becoming resurgent during that period. But it followed many years of floundering around trying to find itself. Fifty-one years ago, in 1964, our Canyon County organization urged me to run for the Legislature, and I gave it a shot — staying with it until being elected governor in 1994. But Republicans were not always strong. In 1984 Democrats held three state offices. By 1990, the Idaho Senate was tied 21 each with Lt. Gov. Butch Otter breaking the ties. After serving in both bodies of the Legislature and as lieutenant governor, I ran against Gov. John Evans (1982) and was narrowly defeated. I then volunteered to be state party chairman. I toured the state for months organizing, organizing. Our appeal was that we welcomed all as long as they wanted limited, economical government. We filed for nearly every slot. We won big time, and we have won ever since. But our appeal has recently changed, and I think we will pay a price for it. Now, we must declare our allegiance to party principles in order to vote in the Republican primary. These principles are supposedly set by the state convention and include such things as going back to the gold standard or having our Legislature choose our candidates for the U.S.

  • Wrong Turns Leave Idaho Without a Highway
    Wrong turns leave Idaho without a highway map As Idaho struggles to pay to upgrade its aging road system, one former governor says he can't remember a time when ITD's standing was so low Idaho Statesman, August 9, 2009 BY: DAN POPKEY Paying for new and better roads has bedeviled Idaho governors for a century. In 1911, Gov. James Hawley called Idaho roads “a disgrace to the State” and urged the Legislature to “devise a proper system that will cure this evil and put us in line with the other advanced States of the Union.” Only after he left office did legislators create the first highway commission. In 2009, Gov. Butch Otter pleaded for legislators to raise road taxes to keep Idaho travelers safe. “Would any of us truly be unwilling to pay a few extra dollars for that peace of mind, even in the toughest of times?” he asked. “Aren’t our loved ones worth it?” Otter has devoted his governorship to trying to win over lawmakers. His latest gambit is a task force — which won’t even report back until after the 2010 election. The governor and his task force face a daunting challenge: A recession, broken promises and leadership problems have led to a breakdown at the transportation department and a loss of confidence in the state’s road- builders By Dan Popkey [email protected] It ought to be simple.
