Firth is a small town with a population of around one thousand the town was the capital of Idaho for April 8th. Governor Otter, his staff of various advisers attended a town hall meeting. The meeting with the citizens of Firth lasted about six hours, in the small city hall office.

When Governor Otter took office, he set aside one day per month to name a city as capital for the day. In this way he is able to get out of the big city capital of Boise and met the smaller populations in the state of Idaho. Idaho has many small town's and cities spread across a large state. In most cases the town meetings that are conducted in each Capitol for the day meeting is similar in content. The majority of questions pertain to issues on energy, water, education, health, economy, manufacturing issues, and immigration.
