Bill Clem ents’ proposed state budget is a short-sighted plan that would take aid from the sick, elderly, needy, stu dents and farmers. Democratic sen ators charged Thursday. Delivering their formal response to Clements’ State of the State mes sage, the lawmakers said Clements’ demand that taxes not rise al>ove current levels is out of touch. “This state should not be subject to a budget proposal derived from misplaced priorities and unrealistic assessments of our financial condi tion,” said Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur. A spokesman for Clements said the Republican governor is willing to listen to all ideas, but his pledge to hold spending at $36.9 billion over the next two years is firm. Reggie Bashur, Clements’ press secretary, said, “We have compas sion and sensitivity for the Texas taxpayer who is trying to meet his monthly bills and his mortgage. “What they’re talking about — what critics are talking about — is a $5.8 billion tax increase. We don’t think Texas taxpayers can afford, nor do we think they want, that type of tax increase.” In a presentation led by Sen. Hugh Parmer, D-Fort Worth, Dem ocrats blasted what they said are Clements’ plans to cut spending for public schools, higher education, hu man services and agriculture. Parmer said Clements failed to cover the state’s pressing needs by insisting on a spending peak at $36.9 billion for the 1988-89 budget years. “We find it very doubtful that that reated oung 1 nd has ials say.
