Dear Assembly Chief Clerk Fuller:
I co-sponsored Assembly Bill 63 and I regret that I had to miss the Assembly's floor session on Tuesday, May 3, 2005 due to my recent knee replacement surgery. I would like to go on the record that had I been able to be present I would have voted to override the Governor's veto of Assembly Bill 63.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Jeskewitz
State Representative
24th Assembly District

Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
April 29, 2005
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by s.
20.002(11)(f), Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes) and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative cash balances during the month of March 2005.
On March 1, 2005, the
Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at its intramonth low of a negative $158.3 million. The fund's negative cash balance continued through March 31, 2005, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $149.8 million. The deficit is due to federal revenues falling short of estimates included in
2003 Wisconsin Act 33. This deficit will decline by $50.0 million in June when revenue is transferred from the general fund to the Medical Assistance Trust Fund as required by
2005 Wisconsin Act 2.
On March 1, 2005, the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund cash balance closed at a negative $1 thousand. This negative balance continued until March 9, 2005, when the fund cash balance closed at a positive $1 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On March 31, 2005, the Lottery Fund cash balance closed at a negative $1.7 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The Medical Assistance Trust Fund, Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, and the Lottery Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations and did not exceed the balances of the funds available for interfund borrowing.
A242
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
