Governor's Veto Message
May 23, 1996
To the Honorable Members of the Assembly:
I have approved
Assembly Bill 1048 as
1995 Wisconsin Act 351 and have deposited it in the Office of the Secretary of State. I have exercised my partial veto authority in sections 41 (7) and (7q).
Section 41 (7) requires the Educational Technology Board (ETB) to recommend in its 1997-99 budget request statutory changes to s.
16.992 to provide the ETB with the opportunity to provide school districts with a waiver of the 25% local match requirement for grants awarded by the Pioneering Partners Program for districts unable to meet the match requirement.
A1165
I am vetoing this provision because current law already permits Pioneering Partners applicants to fulfill the program's match requirement through the use of in-kind contributions. Furthermore, eliminating the match requirement for certain school districts limits the state's ability to leverage available funds to provide as much local investment in educational technology projects as possible. Finally, I am vetoing this item because the legislative branch should not mandate what specific initiatives executive branch agencies must include in their biennial budget requests.
Although I am exercising a partial veto of Section 41 (7), I recognize the special needs of small, rural school districts that may have fiscal constraints limiting their ability to meet ETB match requirements. As a result, I will work with the ETB in the 1997-99 biennial budget process to provide a mechanism that addresses this concern.
Section 41 (7q) expresses the Legislature's intent to appropriate an additional $5,000,000 for grants to be distributed by the ETB to school districts and library boards in the 1997-99 biennium. This section also expresses the Legislature's intent to exclude this amount from state school aids for the purposes of section
121.15 (3m) (a) 2. of the statutes, which is the definition of state school aids for determining partial school revenues and the state's two-thirds share of school revenues.
I am partially vetoing section 41 (7q) to eliminate the intent to exclude the additional $5,000,000 from the definition of state school aids under section
121.15 (3m) (a) 2. of the statutes. Under current law, the amount appropriated for grants by the ETB under section 20.505 (4) (er) is included in the definition of state school aids under section 121.15 (3m) (a) 2. I am partially vetoing this section because the intent is inconsistent with the treatment of the appropriation under current law. In addition, I object to the precedent this intent statement establishes regarding excluding state school aid appropriations or portions thereof from the state's share of partial school revenues.
Sincerely,
Tommy G. Thompson
Governor
