Office of the Governor
June 1, 1998
The Honorable, The Senate:
I am pleased to transmit my Stripper XVIII 1998 Oil Overcharge Plan for consideration by the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) at the next 13.10, Wis. Stats., meeting. As required by s.
14.065 Wis. Stats., I am also forwarding a copy to the Chief Clerk of the Assembly.
This Plan allocates $1,590,426 ($745,244 of new Stripper monies and $845,182 of reallocated monies); helps low income citizens stay warm; develops Wisconsin's renewable energy resource base; makes our buildings and homes more energy efficient; protects the environment ; and, educates our children regarding the wise use of energy. This plan also modifies the Stripper XIV Small Business Energy Efficiency Program to make it accessible to more small businesses.
In addition to the JCF's action, the U.S. Department of Energy must also conduct a review to determine if Wisconsin's Plan conforms with Federal requirements and established definitions of restitution. The Department of Administration staff will be available to provide additional information that may be required. I appreciate your usual support.
Sincerely,
Tommy G. Thompson
Governor
