HB 371                                                                       
the training that will prepare them for productive jobs, and then make         
certain we have a healthy economy so jobs are available to them.               
Another area of significant reduction is in the municipal assistance and       
revenue-sharing programs.  I understand this reduction will capture the        
attention of just about every community throughout the state, but my           
goal is simple: to encourage local governments with a tax base to pay          
for local services.                                                            
                                                                               
The programs included in this appropriations bill represent the fastest        
growing area of state government.  Controlling their costs continues to        
be a high priority for my Administration.  I look forward to working           
with the Legislature on achieving this goal.                                   
                                                                               
                                                                               
Additional information pertaining to the appropriations requested in           
this bill are being furnished to the Legislature by my Office of

With best regards.
