Resurrection Lutheran Church.  Senator Taylor moved and asked                  
unanimous consent that the prayer be spread.  Without objection, it            
was so ordered.

The eyes of all look to You, and You open Your

meaningful and necessary for the good, and for the                             
growth of Alaska.                                                              
                                                                               
We are here, Lord, to serve You, and the people we                            
represent.  Bless us to that end.  We commend

                          MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

Message of April 22 was read, stating:                                         
                                                                               
Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
I am allowing the following bill to become law without my signature            
and am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the                   
Lieutenant Governor's Office for permanent filing:                             
                                                                               
	SENATE BILL NO. 152                                                           
"An Act changing the frequency of certain state                               
inspections of weights and measures and relating to                            
the issuance of citations for weights and measures                             
violations."                                                                   
                                                                               
			Chapter No. 15, SLA 1994                                                    
			Effective Date: 7/21/94                                                     
                                                                               
While I generally approve of the bill's concept of providing an                
additional management tool to address declining state revenues by              
reducing certain mandatory state inspections of weights and measures           
from two to one a year, I am uncertain that the reduced number of              
mandatory state inspections is in the public interest.  Although the           
bill does allow the state to conduct more frequent inspections "as             
considered necessary," the current fiscal situation of the state makes         
maintaining the same level of inspections to protect the public less           
of a possibility if the inspections are not mandatory.  Therefore, the         
public may not always benefit if SB 152 becomes law.

Even so, I believe that the advantages represented by this bill                
outweigh my concerns.  Therefore, I have decided to allow SB 152               
to become law without my signature.
