VETOES

1984, MAY 18, P.L.263, NO.62

Act 62 was approved May 18, 1984, except as to the following:

Section 12. Appropriations.

(a) The net proceeds of the sale of the obligations herein authorized are hereby appropriated from the Capital Facilities Fund to the Department of General Services in the maximum amount of $632,521,000 to be used by it exclusively to defray the financial cost of the public improvement projects specifically itemized in a capital budget. After reserving or paying the expenses of the sale of the obligation, the State Treasurer shall pay to the Department of General Services the moneys as required and certified by it to be legally due and payable.

I approve this item in the amount of $310,907,000.

(b) The net proceeds of the sale of the obligations herein authorized are hereby appropriated from the Capital Facilities Fund to the Department of General Services in the maximum amount of $15,587,000 to be used by it exclusively to defray the financial cost of the public improvement projects consisting of the acquisition of original movable furniture and equipment specifically itemized in a capital budget. After reserving or paying the expenses of the sale of the obligation, the State Treasurer shall pay to the Department of General Services the moneys as required and certified by it to be legally due and payable.

I approve this item in the amount of $10,356,000.

(c) The net proceeds of the sale of the obligations herein authorized are hereby appropriated from the Capital Facilities Fund to the Department of Community Affairs in the maximum amount of $44,165,000 to be used by it exclusively to defray the financial cost of the redevelopment assistance projects specifically itemized in a capital budget. After reserving or paying the expenses of the sale of the obligation, the State Treasurer shall pay to the Department of Community Affairs the moneys as required and certified by it to be legally due and payable.

I approve this item in the amount of $43,900,000.

I withhold my approval from the remainder of said appropriations and debt authorizations for the following reasons:

(1) Certain projects cannot be undertaken by the Commonwealth under provisions of the Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act. These projects do not fall within the definitions of the various categories of capital projects contained therein. Some of these are worthy projects which are being funded through other mechanisms.

(2) Certain projects contained in the bill are maintenance or repair in nature. These projects are to preserve or restore existing assets rather than make an improvement or betterment, and as such cannot be bond funded.

(3) Certain projects contained in the bill have been authorized in previous capital acts so funding is already available for these projects.

(4) Certain projects are not of a sufficiently high priority to warrant the further indebtedness needed for their funding if we are to operate in a fiscally responsible manner. The unrestrained increase in the amount of bond funded authorizations could have a negative impact on the Commonwealth's bond rating thereby causing an increase in interest costs to the Commonwealth or limiting the availability of bond funds for high priority projects.

The projects to be deleted or reduced are as follows:
