Shaar By PAUL DAVENPORT Associated Press Writer PHOENIX A Republican lawmaker who helped draft GOP legislative leaders' budget-balancing plan said critics who demand more spending should propose tax increases to pay for it.

"I guess what I'm going to tell people is, if you want to spend money that doesn't exist, then you need to sponsor a tax increase bill," said Senate Appropriations Chairman Robert Burns, R-Peoria. "It's time to put your money where your mouth is," Burns added Tuesday.

"I sense that there might be the desire to spend more than is in this budget," Burns said.

He then announced he would appoint a subcommittee to develop a "tax package" to pay for spending included in Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano's proposed budget but omitted in the GOP leaders' version. Burns' first appointee to the subcommittee was Sen. Pete Rios, a Hayden Democrat, who then joked that he was chosen because Burns regarded him as a "tax- and-spend Democrat." "You said it," Burns replied. The lighthearted exchange came after Democratic senators said the Republican leaders were trying to skirt voter mandates on increasing spending for health care and education.

"It sounds like with this budget we're setting ourselves again to go against the will of the voters of Arizona," said Sen. Robert Cannell, D-Yuma. Burns noted that voters in 1992 amended the Arizona Constitution to require a two-thirds majority in each chamber of the Legislature to approve tax increases. I'm "I don't know what the message is people for sure." he said. want to If spending is that increased, borrowing and o1 fixthen es won't fill the gap sponsor between revenue and spending Burns for much longer, Burns, R-Peoria, said.

appropriations Napolitano chairman previously criticized tax cuts approved by the GOP -controlled Legislature during the 1990s and called for a revamping of the state's tax code. However, Napolitano has said she will not call for any changes this year. Instead, she has appointed a commission to study the tax code and make recommendations for the Legislature to consider in 2004. House Minority Leader John Loredo, a Phoenix Democrat who last year proposed tax increases, said Tuesday that none is needed now if lawmakers adopt Napolitano's proposed reliance on borrowing to help balance the budget.

Clean Elections law stipulates a candidate for statewide office is limited to contributing $1,060 of his own money to his campaign. The commission is reviewing Kamman's complaints that Martin also exceeded personal contribution limits and made excessive expenditures to himself for mileage. "In some races, the system can rely on opposing candidates to blow the whistle on Clean Elections violations," said Kamman. "But in this case, both candidates were feeding at the same However, the commission postponed taking any action against Martin after he provided additional mileage records during Tuesday's hearing. The delay will give the commission's staff a chance to review the new information Martin submitted before taking action.

Colleen Connor, executive director of the commission, has recommended the commission initiate "a full audit" on Martin's campaign expenditures and contributions.

Hallock could not be reached for comment. In his complaint against Martin, Kamman also questioned why Martin used $100 of campaign money to pay his membership dues for the Screen Actor's Guild. "Commission staff considers the Screen Actors Guild dues to be directly related to his campaign, as club membership is a way to reach out to constituents," Connor said. Martin said he put himself through college "doing stunts in Western movies" and said he remained in the organization to get the votes of other members. DEATHS maintenance.
