<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>

<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>
