Governor's Veto Message
July 15, 2003
To the Honorable Members of the Assembly:
I have approved
Assembly Bill 378 as
2003 Wisconsin Act 31 and have deposited it in the Office of the Secretary of State. I have exercised the partial veto in Sections 22 and 23.
Assembly Bill 378 makes a significant down payment on future economic growth by helping Wisconsin meet its future energy needs. It will compensate communities that agree to site baseload power plants for the increased demand on its local infrastructure. These additional costs -- in road construction, improved safety and environmental mitigation - often follow after a community agrees to host the new generation facility.
Assembly Bill 378 marks a significant improvement in the state's effort to provide the energy necessary to enhance Wisconsin's economic growth.
I am however making several technical changes that create either inappropriate limitations or inequitable treatment of localities. With my partial veto of these sections, a more comprehensive, flexible and balanced energy strategy is established.
