The Honorable, The Senate:
Attached is the statutorily required report pursuant to Chapter 153.05(2m)(b), relating to the biennial performance review of the Wisconsin Hospital Association Information Center (WHAIC). To date, the WHAIC performance under the terms of its contract has been satisfactory, and I am not recommending that the Department of Administration begin a request for proposal process to solicit offers from other organizations.
This is the first biennial report required under state statute and reflects the first year of data collected by WHAIC. Because there is only one year of data to review, the attached report is identical to the report submitted on March 30, 2006.
Please contact my office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
HELENE NELSON
Secretary

Department of Natural Resources
June 21, 2006
The Honorable, The Legislature:
As directed by s.
29.889(11), Stats., the Department of Natural Resources has prepared a report to the Legislature regarding the Wildlife Damage Abatement and Claims Program for the 2005 program year, ending December 31, 2005. Said statute directs distribution to "appropriate standing committees of the legislature in the manner provided under s.
13.172(3), Stats". In compliance with these requirements, and because the both of you are more apt to determine "appropriate standing committees", I am submitting this report to you, the Chief Clerks of the Senate and Assembly, for distribution.
Thank you for your assistance,
Sincerely,
SCOTT HASSETT
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
Public Service Commission
June 29, 2006
The Honorable, The Senate:
As part of
2005 Wisconsin Act 141 enacted on March 17, 2006, Wis. Stat. 196.378(4r) requires that the Commission, no later than July 1 of each even-numbered year, submit a report evaluating the impact of the state law establishing a renewable portfolio standard on rates and revenue requirements. This letter is submitted in compliance with that requirement.
S892
For 2006, the Act provides that no electric provider may decrease its renewable percentage below its baseline, which is based on its average renewable percentage for 2001 through 2003. All of Wisconsin's major electric providers and nearly all of the small providers already have adequate resources to maintain their required renewable percentage for 2006. Therefore, the new requirements of the Act should have no impact on rates or revenue requirements for 2006, the first calendar year in which the new renewable portfolio standard is in place.
Sincerely,
SANDRA J. PASKE
Secretary to the Commission
Southeast Wisconsin
Professional Baseball District

As you review the enclosed report, please note that for the tenth consecutive year, Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District has received a "clean opinion" from independent financial auditors, BDO Seidman, LLP. In this year's audit, dated April 21, 2006. BDO Seidman states, "In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the District, as of December 31, 2005, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America."
