[Vision2020] Rep. Shirley Ringo questions Otter's structuralbalance claim

[Sue Hovey]

Wasn’t  offended.  Just wanted to remind folks that it’s not Shirley’s mission to steal headlines.  She’s there to call attention to  the damage done by the Republican leadership....and their followers.    I wish she and others who believe as she does, had the votes to serve represent all of us.  They know that all Idaho citizens deserve funding to meet their needs—schools, highways, access.    Instead, Idaho has become a hideout for corporations who only seek tax breaks and wealthy people who call Idaho their residence, but spend their time elsewhere.   

Why should she care?  Sometimes I wonder why the hell she does.  It isn’t easy to be the conscience for a collection of idiots.

Please don't feel offended by my posting of this article.

My purpose was simply to remind people that Shirley Ringo is, has been, and will always be on their side.

At times like these, it's reassuring that the right person at the right place ha our back.

My apologies for anybody's interpretation that falls short of my intention.

  Shirley’s goal is not to make news, its to point out significant omissions from the Governor’s budget.

  Questioning the Governor of Idaho is not news. Getting an answer that made sense would be though.

  ID Dem questions Otter's structural balance claim
  BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho Democratic Rep. Shirley Ringo questioned Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's claim of a structurally-balanced budget.


  Ringo is on the budget-writing committee, which Tuesday got its first cursory look at Otter's budget.


  The Republican governor's new budget director, Jani Revier, reiterated Otter's assertion his $2.8 billion budget for fiscal year 2014 is in equilibrium - that ongoing expenditures are paid for with revenue that's likely to come in the door annually, not with short-term cash.


  Ringo argued state employees are leaving for better-paying jobs and there's a backlog of aging highway infrastructure, challenges she says Otter's budget does nothing to address.


  State financial officer David Fulkerson told her Otter's budget focuses on his top priorities, leaving too little money for things like raises for state workers in the next year.
