The Honorable Tony Ross Senate President Wyoming Senate State Capitol Building Cheyenne, WY 82002 |
The Honorable Tom Lubnau Speaker of the House Wyoming House of Representatives State Capitol Building Cheyenne, WY 82002 |
Dear President Ross and Speaker Lubnau,
I appreciate the hard work you and the 62nd Legislature have put into the supplemental budget bill this year. House Enrolled Act 0045 overall reflects the continued balance between spending and saving – between essential services and limited government that we are justifiably proud of in Wyoming. However, a few areas in my view do not strike this balance. These fall into three categories – those which are worthy of noting, those which may merit reconsideration next session and those for which I felt it necessary to exercise my veto power.
Section 20
The 2012 fires cost over $108 million and the state's share was over $42 million of that amount. We need to cover a $7 million shortfall from 2012 and prepare for what the 2013 season may bring. The Legislature budgeted $31.2 million and Section 20, footnote 4, provided access to $5 million from the landfill account. While I hope we do not have to spend any of these funds, I believe it is imperative to plan for that possibility. My veto allows access to an additional $25 million (bringing the total to $30 million) from the landfill account while maintaining the stipulation to recommend that the account be refilled in the 2015/2016 budget. In the event of a fire season like that of 2012, this level of funding is essential.
Section 67
While I do not believe a veto is in order, I note in Section 67 of the Budget – University of Wyoming – the footnote is extensive. I note the Attorney General's concern that appropriations bills shall embrace nothing but appropriations for ordinary expenses of the state and that the Legislature has included in the general appropriations bill provisions that should properly be placed in single subject bills. This section directs the Trustees to provide a significant array of information from selection of deans to architecture and causes me to ponder the expanded scope of the budget bill and question whether or not this promotes the most efficient, effective government.
Section 300 (e) and (g)
I applaud the Legislature for its work on Section 300 (e), which creates the strategic investments and projects account, now known as the "SIPA." This action addresses one of the revenue issues I highlighted in my budget message to the Legislature at the beginning of this session – the disposition of unanticipated and unforecasted earnings on the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund (PWMTF). By capturing earnings in excess of the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group (CREG) forecast, and below the spending policy amount, a significant pool of money is made available for unanticipated, one-time needs in the upcoming 2014 budget session.
However, Section 300 (g) presents a potential problem. At a time when we are all concerned with the state's long-term revenue picture, it seems ill-advised to allow critical revenues to the School Foundation Program Account and to the School Capital Construction Account to be transferred into the inviolate Common School Permanent Land Fund. This is particularly so when it appears that expenditures in those accounts will outstrip funding sources within the next two bienniums. I believe the monies should remain unspent but available to balance looming shortfalls in these programs. Adding to my concern is the reality that if new coal lease bonus sales occur before June 30, 2014, under this section any of these revenues would be deposited into the Common School Permanent Land Fund, for which they were never intended. I encourage the Legislature to watch revenue developments closely over the next year and to be prepared to modify this language in the 2014 budget session.
Section 300 (h)
I am vetoing Section 300 (h). This language would sweep revenues in excess of CREG's January 2013 projected general fund and budget reserve account amounts to the LSRA at the end of Fiscal Year 2013. Section 300, as it appeared in the 2012 budget bill, would have swept revenues in excess of CREG projections at the end of the biennium. The 2012 budget bill was a good approach to LSRA savings. The variety of revenue streams into the general fund and budget reserve account lend diversification to the overall CREG revenue projection to those accounts. But CREG efforts are diversified in the sense that a biennial revenue projection offers the chance to balance a bad year with a good one. If you capture what may turn out to be revenue from a good year in FY2013, you may remove what could balance a bad one in FY2014. The biennial total will not be known until the end of FY2014, indicating the approach taken by the Legislature last year is a better approach. The result of my veto is to keep last year's approach in place. That approach eliminates the need to reach backward into the LSRA to ensure a positive bottom line. The profiled bottom lines of the LSRA, general fund, and budget reserve accounts would be unchanged by my veto – the same cannot be guaranteed if Section 300(h) is allowed to stand.
Section 317
As the Legislature looks for ways to slow spending and reduce growth, Section 317 gives me pause.
Recent community college construction projects have been funded at the local level and after evaluation the Legislature decided that the state should not pay for major maintenance of these projects. This footnote changes that agreement. While it adds no money, it increases maintainable space by thousands of square feet to be covered from a fund shared between community colleges, the University of Wyoming and state owned buildings. It seems inevitable to me that in the very near future we will have to choose between adding general fund dollars to major maintenance or find alternative solutions.
Section 319
I have vetoed provisions in Section 319 of the budget bill, which require state agencies to develop specific budget reductions for the next biennium and require me to choose from them. Similarly, I have vetoed the provisions that require the judiciary to develop several specific budget proposals. I believe these provisions are unwarranted. I also have concerns about the expanded scope of these reductions—taking the reduction from general funds as opposed to standard budget general funds. This change effectively enlarges the scope of the reductions and has the potential to impact cities, towns and counties, highway funding and other infrastructure projects.
In my view, budget decisions should not be detached from the revenue picture. The budget I will develop over the coming spring, summer and fall will take any changing revenue circumstances and efficient delivery of services into account. For example, last year the Legislature asked for 4% reduction proposals from most agencies but when the revenue outlook deteriorated after the session ended, I asked for 8% reduction proposals. Ultimately, I requested a reduction in ongoing spending, overall, of about 6.5%.
The vetoed provisions discount the current work of the CREG which predicts stable revenue ahead. It makes future forecasts less relevant. The provisions would make the affected agencies prepare several separate proposals regardless of a stable revenue picture. Rather than increasing government efficiency, they make for considerable work and eat into time and resources which could be put to other use. These provisions also provide for significant reductions following this year's already significant 6.5% reduction. In addition, they require me to choose a reduction, when no further reduction may be necessary or when a greater reduction may be needed.
With my vetoes, if the revenue does not match our expectations – if it falls – then budget provisions that would require 8% reduction proposals for most agencies (6% for the Department of Health) remain in place. Importantly, this contingency will come into play only if declining revenues precipitate it. Moreover, my hands are not tied to that percentage and I retain the ability to reduce further if necessary.
In my view, the vetoed provisions in Section 319 decouple the budget process from the revenue picture and from the hard questions about what services the state delivers and how it chooses to deliver them. I believe the three components – budget development, revenue, and service delivery – should be joined together, not separated.
Section 330
Section 330 causes me concern. Effective organizations, public and private, rely on effective employees – compensation is a part of the equation. State compensation decisions affect employees who work in state agencies, the judiciary, schools, community colleges and the University of Wyoming. Each of these entities addresses compensation differently – but each evaluates performance, recognizes skills, looks at competing markets and understands there is value in people who want to stay and a cost when people leave.
The executive and judicial branches adopted the Hay Compensation Plan. The University of Wyoming and Wyoming's seven community colleges have comparable systems. All have employee evaluation systems. We must make thoughtful salary decisions and plan carefully. Decisions on pay should be equitable whether you are a fourth grade teacher or a physics professor – whether your job is to supervise teachers or highway engineers. My recommendation for compensation reflected the importance of hiring qualified people, recognizing good work and keeping people on the job. I do not believe this section of the budget meets our obligation for equity, recognition and retention among all public employees.
I thank you and the Legislature again for your hard work and your consideration of my views in the preparation of the 2013 Supplemental Budget.
Sincerely,
Matthew H. Mead
Governor
