The following communication was received:

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

It is my honor to inform you that I have received, approved, signed and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of State, Chapter Number 240, H. F. No. 2205, a bill relating to capital improvements, with the exception of the provisions listed on the attachment to this letter.

My administration is committed to capital budget reform principles that direct major capital budgets and bonding bills to be adopted in legislative sessions of even-numbered years, with consideration of emergency-only bonding bills in the odd-numbered years. For that reason, I instructed my agencies to make difficult budget decisions about living within available resources and proposed no bonding bill in 1999. I have concerns with several items in the 1999 bonding bill.

First, projects funded in the odd-numbered years must meet strict criteria as emergency items with no other available financing alternatives in order to be funded with bonds backed by statewide taxes. Projects that are less than emergencies should wait for consideration until the 2000 legislative session, when they can be reviewed and prioritized against competing requests.

Second, state agencies and political subdivisions should fund their projects to the fullest extent possible before requesting additional state assistance. For example, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) received an appropriation of $43 million in the 1998 bonding bill for asset preservation purposes. Significant portions of this appropriation have not been encumbered or spent. The MnSCU board should utilize their 1998 appropriation for its highest and best use by reprioritizing projects based on urgency. Important, but less urgent, projects can be reconsidered during the 2000 capital budget process.

Additionally, bonding projects should be prioritized according to statewide need. It is not appropriate to include items that should be funded at the local level when items of statewide importance are left out of the bill. Local self-reliance should be the primary method of funding local projects. Political subdivisions must accept the fact that the state is not responsible for and cannot fund all requests. This is not meant to diminish the value of local projects. It is a reminder, however, of the principle that each level of government bears responsibility for providing certain primary services to the public.

Finally, the bonding reauthorizations for the Labor Interpretive Center effectively represent new appropriations. I have vetoed those reauthorizations consistent with my other actions on this issue.

Based on these concerns, I cannot in good conscience allow certain projects to go forward at this time.

The following items in Chapter Number 240, H. F. No. 2205, have been line item vetoed:

Page 2, article 1, section 2, all subdivisions, lines 20 to 41

Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, $11,080,000

Jesse Ventura

MOTION TO OVERRIDE LINE ITEM VETO

Anderson, I., moved that page 5, article 1, section 8, subdivision 4, lines 1 to 15, of Chapter No. 240, H. F. No. 2205, be now reconsidered and repassed, the objections of the Governor notwithstanding, pursuant to Article IV, Section 23, of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota.
