To the Honorable, the Legislature:
Section
227.485(9) of the Wis. Stats. requires the Department to submit a report concerning decisions and resulting payments of attorney fees and related legal costs. Attorney fees and other legal costs are to be paid whenever the opposing party to an agency's Chapter
227 hearing prevails and it is determined the agency's position was not substantially justified. The attached report reflects payments made during SFY2007.
In addition, under 814.245(10) of the Wis. Stats., the Department is required to report any awards granted to the Department regarding frivolous motions brought against this Department. In SFY 2007, no motions of opposing parties were found to be frivolous. Consequently, the Department has no awards to report.
With warm regards,
Kevin R. Hayden
Secretary
Referred to committee on Health.

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
Included with this correspondence, I am submitting the reports from the Department of Administration, Division of Gaming (Gaming), for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007 (January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007 and April, 2007 through June 30, 2007, respectively). As required by s.
562.02(1)(g), Wis. Stats., the attached materials contain pari‐mutuel wagering and racing statistical information, as well as the revenues for the program areas of Racing, Charitable Gaming, Bingo and Indian Gaming. Geneva Lakes Greyhound Track ceased operations on April 1, 2006 and therefore is no longer included in the Pari‐Mutuel Wagering Statistics.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact Rachel Meek at (608) 270‐2535.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Sloey
