<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>
