MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Scott Walker is continuing to put pressure on fellow Republicans in the Legislature not to raise taxes.
Walker on Friday promised to veto the entire budget if it results in a net property tax increase to homeowners.
On Monday he fired off a series of tweets defending his budget as the GOP-controlled Legislature continues working on making changes to it.
Walker tweeted, "Republicans did not run on a gas tax increase -- so they should not pass one in this budget."

Raising gas taxes is being looked at by some Republican legislative leaders as part of a way to pay for roads in the state.
Walker also tweeted that Republicans who ran on the promise of lowering taxes "need to keep that pledge."
