The Honorable, The Legislature:
I am pleased to transmit the attached Stripper XVII Low Income Energy Assistance Oil Overcharge Plan for consideration by the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF). As required by Wisconsin Statute 14.065, I am also forwarding a copy to the Chief Clerk of the Assembly.
In response to cuts in Federal funding for Wisconsin's Low Income Home Energy and Weatherization Assistance Programs, on April 16, 1996, the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) concurred with my direction to the Department of Administration "to coordinate a thorough exploration of alternatives aimed at achieving a more sustainable low income funding strategy that will continue to meet the needs of Wisconsin as Federal funding declines."
The Committee set-aside $100,000 of Oil Overcharge funds in unallotted reserve for planning purposes and left $900,000 unallocated. This Plan proposes to commit that $1.0 million, plus additional Oil Overcharge funds to implement low income energy assistance pilot programs and for administering other energy efficiency/conservation initiatives. The low income energy assistance initiatives continue Wisconsin's aggressive and innovative approach to assist our most needy residents.
A total of $1.265 million of Stripper monies, plus interest is recommended. I urge your support of this Plan. The Department of Administration staff will be available to provide additional information that may be required.
Sincerely,
tommy g. thompson
Governor
Referred to the Committee on Environmental Resorces and Urban Affairs.
