OETA Digital Conversion Funding Line-Item Vetoed by
Keating
By Jeff Packham, Staff Writer
(GIT) The first casualty of legislatively-approved
appropriations bills occurred Monday when Governor Frank Keating line-item
vetoed digital conversion funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority.
SB 1060, by Sens. Enoch Kelly Haney,
D-Seminole, and Cal Hobson, D-Lexington, and Reps. Mike Mass, D-Higgins, and
Jack Bonny, D-Burns Flat, appropriates $3.7 million to the Oklahoma Educational
Television Authority, a cut, after the removal of last year's one-time funding,
of 5 percent.
Keating, however, objected to part of the
appropriation by removing $200,000 from the measure that was to be digital
conversion.
"I have vetoed Section 2 of Senate
Bill 1060 because the funds originally appropriated to the Oklahoma Educational
Television Authority for the costs of digital conversion should not be
re-designated for operating costs for digital television broadcasting but
should remain available to help fund completion of the conversion to digital TV
as originally intended," Keating said.
Keating signed 10 other bills into law
Monday, including the following: HB 2425, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and Mass,
makes an appropriation to the Oklahoma Arts Council.
HB 2439, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, appropriates funds to the Physician Manpower Training Commission, stating
purposes, requiring budgeting of certain funds, providing lapse dates.
HB 2445, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, makes an appropriation to Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science
and Technology.
HB 2455, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, makes an appropriation to the Department of Civil Emergency Management,
and outlines budget procedures.
HB 2469, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, appropriates funds to the Oklahoma Merit Protection Commission and
outlines budget procedures.
HB 2505, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, makes an appropriation to the State Department of Rehabilitation Services
and authorizes the expenditure of certain funds.
SB 1006, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, appropriates $4.1 million to the Commissioners of the Land Office, a
$215,000, or 5 percent cut.
SB 1010, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, appropriates $2.2 million to the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher
Preparation. A 5 percent cut reduces the agency's budget $116,000.
SB 1015, by Haney, Hobson, Bonny and
Mass, appropriates $6.9 million to the Department of Libraries. The $362,000
cut represents 5 percent of the agency's budget.
SB 1273, by Sen. Angela Monson,
D-Oklahoma City, and Rep. Debbie Blackburn, D-Oklahoma City, modifies delinquency
charges on credit accounts, and modifies exclusion from definition of
"loan finance charge."
Double-digit Budget Cuts Announced for Agencies
By Jeff Packham, Staff Writer
(GIT) State agencies will be facing increased
budget cuts this month after the Office of State Finance reported the revenues
for April.
State finance officials announced that
double-digit budget cuts will be coming after the April revenues were lower
than expected.
"We knew we were in a bad
situation," Alison Fraser, deputy director of the Office of State Finance,
said, "but we thought there would be improvement in April, which is
typically our biggest collection month of the year. However, that did not
happen, and in fact, we have seen a worsening of an already bad
situation."
April collections in the General Revenue
Fund totaled $499.1 million, which falls 7.7 percent below the estimate and
10.7 percent below the prior year.
"On first blush, it appears we can
easily meet our monthly allocations," Fraser said. "However, we must
first repay $119.9 million borrowed from the Rainy Day Fund in March and April,
which reduces the amount available for allocations."
In addition to that, Fraser pointed out
that $17.6 million of April's collections was distributed to agencies last
month to mitigate that month's reductions. The result will be $361.6 million
for April allocations and no cash available for June allocations.
"With only two months of collections
remaining in the fiscal year, it is highly unlikely that revenues will move
significantly toward the level we anticipated last month," Tom Daxon, OSF
director, said. "This makes it necessary for us to impose additional
cuts."
Daxon said that allocations for this
month and June will be $63.5 million lower, a reduction of 16.8 percent. That
would be an annual reduction of 3.91 percent.
"Our first responsibility is to
protect the fiscal integrity of the state," Daxon said. "We will do
that. Our legislature has designed a system of financial checks to prevent our
situation from unraveling completely and I intend to carry out my responsibilities."
Fraser added that the bottom line is OSF
faces a "difficult balancing act" in trying to determine how much
money can be distributed in order to ensure agencies can make it through the
fiscal year.
"We are walking a tight rope and
working very hard to keep this balance," Fraser said.
According to Fraser, that balance
requires limiting June allocations to May collections. Fraser added that money
will not be available from the Rainy Day Fund in June due to the stipulation
that it must be paid back by the end of the fiscal year.
Oklahoma is facing state revenue problems
that many other states have already experienced. Fraser said she had spoken
with other states' officials about their problems.
"We have been hearing stories like
this from budget officers and tax administrators across the country,"
Fraser said.
Fraser pointed to the decline in the
gross production tax on natural gas as the initial component in the decreased
revenues for Oklahoma. She said that other states were experiencing lost
revenues in individual income tax and sales tax collections, a shortage area
that Oklahoma is
now experiencing.
The gross production tax on natural gas
continued to affect collections in a negative manner, Fraser said, but the recently-completed
income tax season revealed shortages in that area.
"April is a pivotal month for
revenues," Fraser said. "The gross production tax on natural gas
continues to lead our revenue decline. Of greatest concern, however, were
April's individual income tax collections, which marked the deadline for filing
of tax returns."
The Oklahoma Tax Commission reported that
a smaller amount of people owed money when filing their taxes this year and the
money owed was less than in past years. More people were also receiving refunds
and the refunds were larger than in prior years.
Fraser said the individual income tax
collections for April were $10.3 million or 3.4 percent lower than the estimate.
She also pointed to declines in capital gains, stock options and bonuses as
other contributors to the lack of revenues.
The individual income tax collections are
above the prior fiscal year's collections by 0.7 percent or $11.5 million, but
below the estimate by 2.0 percent or $33.4 million.
"These kinds of trends don't turn
around on a dime," Fraser said. "We have seen our revenue situation
worsen from month-to-month and there is no reason to believe things will
instantly get better on July 1, the start of the next fiscal year. Certainly,
there are some differences in next year's estimate and this year's,
particularly when it comes to the gross production tax on natural gas."
Fraser warned that it was possible that
the declines could carry over into the next fiscal year. If so, she said that
agency directors would be asked to consider conservative approaches in
establishing priorities for the coming fiscal year.
As for the state Legislature, Speaker of
the House Larry Adair, D-Stilwell, said that it would be difficult to determine
the effect on next fiscal year's appropriations. He pointed out that some
budget bills had already been signed into law, and that it was important that
education be "held harmless."
"We're just going to have to adjust
where necessary after they go back and look at everything," Adair said.
Among the agencies facing the largest
cuts in May are the State Department of Education ($117 million), the Department
of Corrections ($26.9 million), the State Regents for Higher Education ($50.5
million), the Health Care Authority ($24.8 million) and the Department of Human
Services ($28.7 million).
