To the Honorable, the Assembly:
RE: Stripper XX 2000 Oil Overcharge Plan
I am pleased to transmit my Stripper XX 2000 Oil Overcharge Plan for consideration by the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) at the next s.
13.10, Wis. Stats. meeting. As required by s.
14.065, Wis. Stats. I am also forwarding a copy to the Chief Clerk of the Senate.
A1013
This year's Plan allocates $821,497.70 new Stripper monies plus all future accruing interest. If accepted and implemented, the recommended programs will reduce our dependence on petroleum based motor fuels and make our agricultural industry, commercial buildings and homes more energy efficient.
In addition to the JCF's action, the United States Department of Energy must also conduct a review to determine if Wisconsin's Plan conforms with Federal requirements and established definitions of restitution. The Department of Administration staff will be available to provide additional information that may be required. I appreciate your usual support.
Sincerely,
Tommy G. Thompson
Governor
Referred to committee on Utilities.

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f), Wis. Stats. (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3), Wis. Stats.), and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative balances during the month of October 2000.
On October 1, 2000 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$5 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$7 thousand on October 19, 2000, decreased to -$2 thousand on October 24, 2000, and continued into the month of November. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved soon. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On October 1, 2000 the Utility Public Benefits Fund balance was -$2 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$905 thousand on October 24, 2000, to -$1.38 million on October 31, 2000, and continued into the month of November. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On October 26, 2000 the University Trust-Income Fund balance was -$61 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$91 thousand on October 30, 2000, and continued until October 31, 2000 when the balance reached $289 thousand.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Utility Public Benefits Fund, and University Trust-Income Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitation and did not exceed the balances of the Funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority.
Sincerely,
George Lightbourn
Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means.
