EDUCATION AND TRAINING
ARTS BOARD
1.
Milwaukee Art Museum Grant
This provision creates a new $50,000 GPR appropriation to provide a one-time grant in fiscal year 2002-03 to the Milwaukee Art Museum for the Leonardo da Vinci and the Splendor of Poland exhibition.
I am vetoing this provision because it is not prudent to increase GPR spending for noncritical items given the state's current budget shortfall. This exhibition has already been scheduled and museum officials have indicated that it will proceed regardless of the receipt of earmarked state funding. Like other arts organizations, the Milwaukee Art Museum can compete for funding from the Arts Board under existing grant programs.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
2.
Program Revenue Lapses
Section 9125
This provision requires the Wisconsin Historical Society to allocate $100,000 in fiscal years 2001-02 and 2002-03 for the Office of Local History and the society library.
I am vetoing this earmarking of funds because it runs counter to previous legislative action. Under
2001 Wisconsin Act 16 (the 2001-03 biennial budget) and changes in this budget reform act, the Legislature and I significantly reduced the number of separate appropriations to give the society more flexibility to operate its programs efficiently and effectively. The legislative earmarking of funds under this provision would limit the very flexibility we intended the society to have.
In addition, the provision is not necessary because the society's current annual expenditures on the library alone far exceed the $100,000 required under this amendment. To best meet its responsibilities, the Wisconsin Historical Society needs to retain the funding flexibility granted to it under both
2001 Wisconsin Act 16 and this act.
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
3.
Sale of Soft Drinks in Schools
Section 280n
This provision requires school districts that enter into exclusive contracts with soft drink vendors to ensure that milk is available to students whenever soft drinks are available.
I am partially vetoing this provision because it is overly broad and would require the sale of milk at all scholastic events, not just during the school day. The effect of this partial veto will be to delete the statutory requirement addressing all scholastic events.
