GROWING OUR ECONOMY
1. Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Funding to the Joint Committee on Finance Supplemental Appropriation
Section 481 [as it relates to s. 20.865 (4) (a)]
This provision provides a total of $23,503,200 GPR in fiscal year 2015-16 and $34,711,000 GPR in fiscal year 2016-17 to the Joint Committee on Finance's general purpose revenue funds general program supplementation appropriation under s. 20.865 (4) (a). Of this amount, $16,300,000 GPR in fiscal year 2015-16 and $12,400,000 GPR in fiscal year 2016-17 were placed in the appropriation due to actions by the Joint Committee on Finance to reduce the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation's operations and programs appropriation and place these funds in the Committee's supplemental appropriation.
I object to the placement of these funds in the Committee's supplemental appropriation because this mechanism to hold these funds does not provide the greatest flexibility for the state's financial position or its policy options.
I am partially vetoing section 481 [as it relates to s. 20.865 (4) (a)] to reduce funding for the Committee's supplemental appropriation by $16,300,000 GPR in fiscal year 2015-16 and $12,400,000 GPR in fiscal year 2016-17 to remove those amounts placed in the appropriation by the Committee related to reductions for the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and not otherwise allocated for another purpose so that these monies will improve the general fund balance during the biennium. Doing so strengthens the state's fiscal position and still allows these funds to be allocated by the Legislature for future purposes. By lining out the appropriation under s. 20.865 (4) (a) and writing in a smaller amount that deletes these funds, I am vetoing the portion of the bill that holds these funds in the Committee's supplemental appropriation. I am also requesting the secretary of the Department of Administration not to allot these funds.
2. Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Grants to Various Organizations
Section 9150 (5dc)
This section requires the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to make four grants to specified organizations for a total of $750,000 GPR. The Mid-West Energy Research Consortium is to be granted $250,000 GPR to support Wisconsin- headquartered private companies in the energy, power and control industries. Prosperity Southwest Wisconsin is to be granted $250,000 GPR to develop a regional revolving loan fund program in the southwest region for regional development and entrepreneurial start-ups. Northcentral Technical College is to be granted $150,000 GPR for equipment for its culinary arts program and business incubator facilities. Finally, the Marathon County Economic Development Corporation is to be granted $100,000 GPR for a revolving loan fund to support minority-owned businesses in Marathon County.
