Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have signed Enrolled House Bill 5705. However, I am returning it to you because of several items of which I disapprove, pursuant to Article V, Section 19 of the Michigan Constitution. The specific vetoes are contained in the attached copy of the bill, which has been filed with the Secretary of State.

This supplemental budget bill provides funding of $19.2 million (negative $8.5 million general fund) for fiscal year 2002 and $117.8 million (negative $40 million general fund) for fiscal year 2003. This bill is an integral part of our fiscal year 2003 budget reduction strategy.

I thank the Legislature for its work in balancing the budget for fiscal years 2002 and 2003.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Education and transportation are vital issues to economic expansion in southeast Michigan. Southeast Michigan needs a strategy for both education and transportation. Neither issue is more important than the other. This bill addresses only the transportation issue. Without a solution or plan of attack to the education challenges of southeast Michigan, I cannot sign this bill.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning to you herewith Enrolled House Bill 5977 without signature.

This bill purports to raise funding for local corrections officer training. I do not support this proposal because it is my belief that local communities continue to push their prison population onto the state corrections system, thus increasing our cost of training, not the locals. Until local units of government take more responsibility for the housing of criminals in this state, I will not be able to support this fee increase.

For this reason, I am returning to you Enrolled House Bill 5977 without signature.

Executive Office, Lansing, December 30, 2002

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol Building

Lansing, Michigan 48913

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I returning to you herewith, Enrolled House Bill 5291.

The bill would broaden the application of an offense variable of the sentencing guidelines to include all cases where a child either witnesses a violent crime or observes the physical results of violent crime against a family member.

While the intent of the bill is laudable, it would undermine the current statutory framework developed by the independent and bi-partisan Sentencing Commission. Statutory revision of the guidelines to assign new crimes to an existing classification has become commonplace. However, this bill is unparalleled as it seeks to greatly enhance the penalties for an entire class of crime and crime victims.

The Sentencing Commission was required to assess the weight of all offense variables on the population capacities of state and local correctional facilities. In this case however, it appears there has been inadequate consideration given as to how this bill would affect the state and local governments' ability to incarcerate and effectively supervise offenders not subject to its application.

Under current law, certain violent perpetrators who cause psychological trauma to children requiring professional treatment already face enhanced sentencing. In addition, Michigan law provides that a sentencing court may justify an upward departure from the recommended guidelines by reference to legitimate factors not considered by the guidelines, including the crime's affect on children. A judge's ability to depart from the recommended sentencing guidelines, along with Michigan's truth-in-sentencing law, provides a firm and effective response to criminals who assault their victims in the presence of children.

The effectual protection of our laws requires that government apportion finite state and local correctional resources intelligently and resourcefully. Often the answer is not found in new legislation, but rather in more effective handling of current duties. For example, while the prosecutor of Michigan's largest county was an advocate for this legislation it could be argued that greater jail capacity and fewer pre-trial releases in Wayne County could together stem significantly more crime. Hopefully, legislators in the future will look at such tough issues rather than passing an unfunded mandate that cannot deliver what it promises.

It is for the above stated reasons that I am returning Enrolled House Bill 5291 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

State Capitol Building

Lansing, Michigan 48913

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning Enrolled House Bill 5952 to you without my signature because it would impose an undue administrative burden on the Department of Management and Budget and future administrations.

Under the provisions of Enrolled House Bill 5952, the Department of Management and Budget would be required to ensure its purchases of paper and wood products complied with one or more of eight different standards for sustainable forest areas and resulting products.

The State of Michigan would have to verify whether numerous suppliers and vendors complied with at least one standard, and would be subject to litigation for improperly classifying vendors accordingly.

Moreover, unlike present state law on the purchase of products with recycled materials, HB 5952 would require the state to give preference to wood and paper products meeting these standards even if their costs were prohibitive or they were not readily available.

I applaud the concerns that motivated the supporters of this legislation, and am hopeful for a meaningful compromise in the future, but can not endorse HB 5952 in its present form with my signature. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Today I am returning to you herewith Enrolled House Bill 4017.

The House or the Senate may amend its rules to include the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each session. Also, acting together the House and the Senate could amend the Joint Rules of the House and Senate to require that each session begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. Pursuant to the Michigan Constitution, Article IV, Section 16, the legislative branch is constitutionally empowered to set its rules and procedures. This bill invites the executive branch to participate in the exercise of a power reserved to the legislative branch. I decline to do so and I would caution legislators in both the House and Senate to be more alert in the future and keep the founders arguments about separation of power in mind.

For this fundamental reason, I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4017 without signature.

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled House Bill 6120.

Given the current budget restraints we cannot add new burdens on the Department of Community Health, at this time.
