Former Idaho Governor and U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne dies at 74
Dirk Kempthorne, a Republican who served as mayor of Boise, U.S. senator, Idaho governor, and U.S. Interior secretary under President George W. Bush, died Friday evening in Boise at age 74. His family announced his death in a written statement Saturday but did not give a cause, though he had been diagnosed with colon cancer last year. Kempthorne was known for listing the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act and for legislation ending unfunded federal mandates on state and local governments.
