Messages from the Governor

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, December 29, 2006

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan, 48909-7514

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have vetoed and return with my objections Enrolled House Bill 5300, as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

By restricting Michigan State Housing Development Authority assistance to United States citizens and individuals legally admitted as permanent residents, House Bill 5300 would create unintended negative consequences for individuals legally admitted into the United States, including those who have sought asylum in the United States because of political persecution elsewhere. In contrast, both the Federal Housing Administration and Fannie Mae allow loans to individuals who are lawfully in the United States regardless of their status as permanent residents. Individuals in the United States on student visas, work permits, or as part of the diplomatic corps, and those seeking permanent resident status, among others, currently are eligible for loans from these federal entities, but would not be eligible for assistance under this legislation. I therefore find Enrolled House Bill 5300 inappropriately restrictive and return the bill without signature.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, January 4, 2007

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I return to you without signature and with my objections Enrolled House Bills 4257, 4647, 5761, 6292, and 6661, as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

The State of Michigan continues to face enormous fiscal challenges. Because of ongoing economic restructuring, the revenues used to provide critical services for our citizens have eroded. In particular, sales tax revenues have dropped sharply in the past several months. Additionally, the accelerated elimination of the Single Business Tax by the 93rd Michigan Legislature coupled with the failure to enact replacement revenues has created a massive fiscal hole.

The total cost of these bills, combined with new capital spending under recently vetoed capital outlay legislation, totals in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Before considering these expenditures, Michigan must be on stable fiscal footing. For these reasons, I will not sign bills such as these, though they may be very worthy, that impose significant new costs.

I look forward to working with the new 94th Michigan Legislature on other important issues after the state's fiscal house has been restored to order.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, January 5, 2007

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have vetoed and return with objections Enrolled House Bill 6606, as provided under Section 33 of ArticleIV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The bill would create a new law to allow nonprofit convention and tourism bureaus to impose an assessment of up to 2% on hotel and motel rooms to promote convention business and tourism. Unfortunately, the assessment would be authorized only in a county with a population greater than 500,000 and less than 750,000.

In this restrictive form, Enrolled House Bill 6606 would apply only in Kent County. While the assessment authorized under the legislation could serve a laudable purpose in greater Grand Rapids, restricting this tool only to one community is short sighted. Ingham County also has expressed an interest in this assessment option and was included in an earlier version of the bill. Other communities like Ingham County should not be denied access to the promotional tools that House Bill 6606 would provide only in Kent County. Accordingly, I return the bill without signature.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor
