<div><span>BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho Democratic Rep. Shirley Ringo questioned
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's claim of a structurally-balanced budget.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>Ringo is on the budget-writing committee, which Tuesday got its first
cursory look at Otter's budget.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>The Republican governor's new budget director, <span id="misspell-6" class="mark">Jani</span> <span id="misspell-7" class="mark">Revier</span>, 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.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>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.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>State financial officer David <span id="misspell-8" class="mark">Fulkerson</span> 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.</span></div></div>
