OETA Digital Conversion Funding Line-Item Vetoed by Keating
(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
(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
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).
