On this moment abide. 2008-04-04 House Journal Page 2594 And this moment has come, can it help me to withdraw for a while from the flight of time? Can it contain the retreat of the hours and days from the grasp of a frantic life? When all days abandon me, take this moment and abide. Let me learn to pause, if only for this moment. Let me find peace in this moment. Let me enter into a quiet world this moment. On this moment let peace abide. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Coghill.

MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR SB 256 The following letter was dated and received April 3, 2008: "Dear Speaker Harris: On this date I signed with line item vetoes the following bill passed by the second regular session of the Twenty-Fifth Alaska State Legislature and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing: HOUSE CS FOR CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 256(FIN) am H "An Act making supplemental appropriations, capital appropriations, reappropriations, and other appropriations; making an appropriation to the senior benefits payment program; amending certain appropriations; ratifying certain expenditures; making appropriations to capitalize funds; and providing for an effective date." Chapter No. 11, SLA 2008 [Effective Date: See Chapter] 2008-04-04 House Journal Page 2595 The budget goals for this administration have been very clear: to slow the growth of government, live within our means, and save for the future. The supplemental bill addresses unanticipated costs in the current fiscal year, provides funding for the senior benefits program enacted by the Legislature during the June 2007 special session, and makes significant deposits to savings. I appreciate the careful consideration and support from the Legislature of these requests. This administration takes our fiscal responsibility seriously. Since we released our comprehensive budget plan in December, we have consistently advocated that the overall level of spending for FY2008 and FY2009 is a key element of a fiscal plan, in addition to savings, particularly in this time of surplus. Our budget plan identified an estimated supplemental budget and anticipated expenditures for both fiscal years. Although I advocated to keep the vetoed projects out of the supplemental bill, our efforts were unsuccessful. I continue to believe that supplemental appropriations should be reserved for those items where extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances necessitate funding in the current year. My preference was to have the Legislature pursue a veto override if they felt the vetoed projects should continue as Fiscal Year 2008 capital items. Given the inclusion of nearly $70 million in vetoed projects, we focused our efforts on (1) ensuring we remain fiscally responsible with public dollars, and (2) commit to a reasonable approach that would consider the priorities of individual communities and neighborhoods as proposed by the Legislature. To meet these goals and reflect our effort to communicate, we attempted to meet with every legislator. I can honestly say that I have sincerely appreciated the opportunity to meet with legislators over the past weeks to discuss the individual projects, the importance of these projects to individual communities, and the timing issues associated with these projects. My staff and I have listened and learned a great deal about the many needs across the state. The needs are great and vary dramatically from one community to another. Senate Bill 256 as passed by the Legislature contained supplemental operating and capital appropriations and special appropriations for 2008-04-04 House Journal Page 2596 FY2008, totaling $4.4 billion. Section 13 of the bill contains 223 items totaling $69,977,623 of previously vetoed projects. As a result of information provided by legislators, I have placed each project into one of three categories. Those categories include items to be funded, items I will request be moved to the capital budget and items I have vetoed. I am allowing 52 of the projects totaling $12,366,556 to remain in the supplemental bill due to time constraints for ordering and receiving materials, projects that would lose access to other funds without state support, and school projects with a short construction season that need to be completed prior to school starting. I am moving 155 projects totaling $35,361,067 from this legislation and requesting the House Finance Committee consider these projects as an amendment to the capital budget with a FY2008 effective date of April 13, 2008. This action is based on the information received from meetings with legislators recognizing that while these projects may not be as time- sensitive as others, they represent important community priorities. I have vetoed 16 projects and reduced one project for a total of $22,250,000. Some have already been completed, some that may be considered in a future budget, and some that will be coordinated within other state efforts. I believe this approach represents a responsible plan based upon positive input from many legislators. Again, I appreciate the time legislators spent meeting and discussing their districts. I recognize the significant effort spent on this supplemental and I am now hopeful that we can focus our efforts in a cooperative manner to move Alaska forward. Sincerely, /s/ Sarah Palin Governor" MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE HB 13 A message dated April 3, 2008, was read stating the Senate passed: 2008-04-04 House Journal Page 2597 CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 13(FIN) "An Act relating to prepayments of accrued actuarial liabilities of government retirement systems; relating to the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority, the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, and the state bond committee; establishing the Alaska Pension Obligation Bond Corporation; permitting the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority or a subsidiary of the authority, a subsidiary of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, the state bond committee, and the Alaska Pension Obligation Bond Corporation to assist state and municipal governmental employers by issuing bonds, notes, commercial paper, or other obligations to enable the governmental employers to prepay all or a portion of the governmental employers' shares of the unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of retirement systems; authorizing a governmental employer to issue obligations to prepay all or a portion of the governmental employer's shares of the unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of retirement systems and to enter into a lease or other contractual agreement with a trustee, the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority or a subsidiary of the authority, a subsidiary of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, the state bond committee, or the Alaska Pension Obligation Bond Corporation in connection with the issuance of obligations for that purpose, and relating to those obligations; relating to revision of the employer contribution rate in connection with financed prepayment of unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of government retirement systems; and providing for an effective date." with the following amendment and it is transmitted for consideration: SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 13(FIN) "An Act relating to prepayments of accrued actuarial liabilities of government retirement systems; relating to the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority, the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, and the state bond committee; establishing the Alaska Pension Obligation Bond Corporation; permitting the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority or a subsidiary of the authority, a subsidiary of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, the state bond committee, and the Alaska Pension Obligation Bond Corporation to assist state and municipal governmental employers by issuing bonds, notes, commercial paper, or other obligations to enable the 2008-04-04 House Journal Page 2598 governmental employers to prepay all or a portion of the governmental employers' shares of the unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of retirement systems; authorizing a governmental employer to enter into a lease or other contractual agreement with a trustee, the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority or a subsidiary of the authority, a subsidiary of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, the state bond committee, or the Alaska Pension Obligation Bond Corporation in connection with the issuance of obligations by a state entity for the purpose of prepaying all or a portion of the governmental employer's share of the unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of retirement systems, and relating to those obligations; relating to revision of the employer contribution rate in connection with financed prepayment of unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of government retirement systems; and providing for an effective date."
