To the Honorable, the Legislature:
I am pleased to send you this report on the Future Funding for Recycling in Wisconsin. The report responds to the 1997-99 budget directive to the DNR to look at the alternatives for continuing the funding of recycling programs through the year 2004. Though the report is not due until December 31, 1998, I felt it was important to have this report finished and the alternatives available for discussion at the earliest possible date.
This report was prepared by a work group consisting of DNR and UW-Extension staff. Work group members relied on material prepared for the Legislative Council Special Committee on the Future of Recycling for much of the background for this report. The work group publicized and held a public meeting attended by thirty interested parties and accepted written comments for over six weeks before finalizing their report.
Based on their feedback, it became clear that there was no consensus among the various interested parties about the best approach to take. The work group decided that a reasonable course of action would be to lay out the most viable options and present them to you for consideration. Those options appear under the "Analysis of Alternatives" section.
If you have any comments or questions about this report please direct them to me, Sue Bangert, Director of Waste Management, (608-266-0014), or Kathy Curtner, Director of the Bureau of Community Financial Assistance, (608-266-0860). Thank you.
Sincerely,
George E. Meyer
Secretary, DNR
Referred to committee on Natural Resources.
