OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
SAINT PAUL 55155
May 23, 2013
The
Honorable Paul Thissen
Speaker
of the House of Representatives
The
State of Minnesota
Dear Speaker Thissen:
I have
received, approved, signed, and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of
State H. F. No. 1183, Chapter No. 137, the Legacy Bill, with the exception of the line item vetoes
listed below:
· Pages 13-14, lines 13.33-14.2: "$6,300,000 in the first year is to the Metropolitan Council for grants to restore and enhance wetlands, prairies, forests, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife in the metropolitan regional parks system."
· Page 16, lines 16.3-16.9: "Of this amount, $3,000,000 is for aquatic invasive species grants to tribal and local governments with a delegation agreement under Minnesota Statutes, section 84D.105, subdivision 2, paragraph (g), for education, inspection, and decontamination activities at public water access, and other sites."
This decision is extremely difficult for
me. I attach great importance to keeping
my word. Unfortunately, in this instance,
I have given contradictory assurances to legislators during the past few days
and to thousands of Minnesotans during the past few years. I have decided that I must honor my promise
to those citizens.
Journal of the House - 2013 Supplement - Top of Page 6516
I believe that this decision also
represents the best interests of the people of Minnesota, who care deeply about
the Outdoor Heritage Fund of the Legacy Fund.
In my thirteen legislative sessions, I have rarely seen the acrimony and
distrust, which this dispute has caused between legislators and concerned
citizens. The bitterness is not about
the merits of the two projects I am vetoing, but rather the way in which they
were added and other significant changes were proposed to the House bill.
As the legislative session approached its
final hours, this battle over money, priorities, and prerogatives threatened to
block passage of the entire Legacy Bill, which contained $496 million of
funding for important projects throughout our state. Last Sunday afternoon you, Senator Bakk, and
I agreed to a compromise, in which the above two items would be included in the
Legacy Conference Report. Although I had
expressed my strong opposition to altering
the recommendations of the Lessard-Sams Council before and during the session,
it appeared at that time that our only two options were to: 1) agree to this compromise, or 2) jeopardize passage of the entire bill.
At that time, I hoped that the thousands
of Minnesotans, who are deeply committed to the work of the Lessard-Sams
Council, would accept our compromise.
Since the bill's passage, however, I have heard from many organizations,
representing thousands of our citizens, who believe my approval of those two
items would betray the promises I have made repeatedly during the past four
years to respect the Council's decisions.
I also note that investments in Metro
parks, including habitat improvements, received other funding from the
legislature this year:
·
$9.085mm
from the Outdoor Heritage Fund for Metro habitat;
·
$33.774mm
for Metro Parks and Trails grants from the Legacy Fund;
·
$17.08mm
to the Metropolitan Council for base funding for regional parks, from the
Environment Finance bill; and
·
$5.62mm
from LCCMR for Metro-area habitat acquisition;
totaling
$65.559 million.
I also note that the following aquatic
invasive species (AIS) received other funding from the Legislature this year as
well, including:
·
$8.526mm
was appropriated in the Environment Finance bill to combat AIS; and
·
$9.84mm
was appropriated in the LCCMR bill for AIS research investments.
Nevertheless, my line-item vetoes do not
reflect a lack of support for the two projects; rather they underscore my
conviction that the House Legacy Committee must work with its citizen councils,
not against them. I will ask the
Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council to reconsider these two projects when it
assembles its next funding recommendations.
I believe it is imperative that the
leadership of the House Legacy Committee repair its relations with the
Lessard-Sams Council and the many sportsmen, sportswomen, outdoor recreation
enthusiasts, hunters, anglers, and everyone else committed to the enhancement
of our state's priceless outdoor heritage.
Otherwise, I have serious doubts that a Legacy Bill can be enacted in
future legislative sessions.
Sincerely,
Mark
Dayton
Governor
