OPENING ADDRESS BY SECRETARY OF STATE
MAX MAXFIELD
I would like to begin by extending a special welcome to a former Wyoming lawmaker and longtime United States Senator, Al Simpson, and his lovely wife Ann.
What brings you to town Al?
One of the greatest honors I have in serving as Wyoming's Secretary of State is welcoming all of you and opening Wyoming's legislative session.
I want to welcome our newly elected legislators; you are about to enter a rich and unique chapter of your lives.
I welcome back our veteran lawmakers, no matter how many terms you have served, you always arrive with a sense of excitement and with an anticipation of what each session will hold.
So, there are the newly elected, the veterans, and then there is John Patton. After 10 years in the legislature and a 27 year hiatus, John is back. John is off to a questionable start, as he stole my tie at the caucus Sunday. John, please pass it along to Representative Blake.
I have had the privilege of watching and working with some 22 legislative sessions and have always been impressed that our Representatives, Senators and state elected officials remember that it is the Wyoming citizens who have given us this opportunity. Through their trust we have the privilege to serve.
What has many times been a circus on our nation's political stage this past year has spotlighted how civil and responsible Wyoming's political system really is.
We know that public service in Wyoming is still a noble calling, an opportunity for us to give back.
To quote Winston Churchill: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
As state elected officials, and as legislators, we share a responsibility, a trust given to us by the citizens of our great state to do their work, to represent THEM.
Meeting today's challenges is serious business; planning and preparing for Wyoming's future is critical work.
While I know you will take you legislative duties very seriously, I encourage you not to take yourself to seriously. Look at the pictures on the walls, the pictures of many legislators who have served before you, and the space for the many that will serve after you.
When you are sworn in today, you will join those who have influenced and shaped Wyoming's history, and you will play an important role in shaping Wyoming's future. I join the other elected officials in wishing you a successful and productive session, and stand ready to support you in any way I can.
God bless you; God bless Wyoming; and God bless America.

ADDRESS BY THE SPEAKER
Welcome to the opening session of the 60th Wyoming State Legislature. This is the 119th year of the legislature from Wyoming's statehood on July 10, 1890.
Thank you Chief Justice Voigt for attending to the swearing in duties today. Thank you Reverend Mary Caucutt for the wonderful and thoughtful opening prayer. Thank you Secretary of State Maxfield and Deputy Secretary of State Arp for your help.
Congratulations to our other new officers: Ed Buchanan, Frank Philp, Lorraine Quarberg, Saundra Meyer, Patrick Goggles and Lori Millin.
I am extremely happy today to welcome members of my family who are here to share in this special honor as speaker of this great house. I would like to introduce them to you.
My extraordinary wife, Debbie, and our fine sons, Mac and Nick. They have logged more time in Cheyenne during legislature sessions than many of you in this body! The privilege of serving in the legislature is most directly and generously granted by our spouses and families. The sacrifices Debbie, Mac and Nick make to allow me to pursue my passion are appreciated beyond words and this public recognition is but a small measure of my love and thanks. We have shared much as a result of our legislative experiences.
Debbie's parents, Chuck and Eileen Oakley, from Lander, and Eileen's mother, Francis Schmidt. Chuck retired from the state after 35 years in 2007 and Eileen is serving her second term as the Fremont County Assessor. Francis Schmidt is the matriarch of my wife's side of the family from Gordon, Nebraska and just celebrated her 90th birthday.
My parents, Ann and Al Simpson – they have lived many of the legislative experiences that Debbie and the boys and I have lived. I remember many car trips to Cheyenne with mom and my brother and sister to visit dad during his 14 years in the legislature. I have very fond memories of the basement cafeteria, trips up into the dome and frequent trips to the water cooler.
My sister, Sue and her husband John Gallagher and their children Fiona and Aidan (who are upstairs somewhere). The wonderful art in my office in the Capitol comes from my sister's art gallery in Cody as well as this bronze sculpture here on the speakers desk by T.D. Kelsey entitled "La Tocha Hermosa" – The Light Touch. Thank you Sue and John!
A special mention of the Tim Allen Lawson painting that will be hanging in the Chamber on temporary loan by he artist through my sister and is a scene that Tim painted outside of Pinedale and he has named it "In Route". It is a classic Wyoming scene done by a native Sheridan boy who is most recently renowned for his painting gracing the front of President and Mrs. Bush's 2008 Christmas card.
My aunt and uncle, Pete and Lynne Simpson. Pete served four years in this body as a representative from Sheridan County. Together they have spent many years enhancing the arts in Wyoming.
Pete and Lynne's son, Milward, his wife Amy and their sons, Alex and Hunter. Milward is the Director of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources and Amy is a music teacher at Hobbs Elementary School in Cheyenne.
My aunt and my mother's twin sister, Nana Fogel, is here from Boulder with her son, Jonathon Thorne, and his wife Mary Ellen. Nan and John have been important in my life since my earliest memories.
Lastly, not a blood member of my family but a member of our church family, the Reverend Mary Caucutt who gave the opening prayer this morning.
It is also special to have Jon Root here from Cody, who will be serving as a page on the House floor. Welcome Jon.
It is really special to have my family and Mary here with me today sharing in this special occasion. I am honored by their presence and greatly blessed by their love and that they are a great part of the fabric of my life and the lives of my wife and our sons.
There have been four speakers of the House from Park County. Three before 1938 and the last was Marlin T. Kurtz in 1963. Thank you for the incredible opportunity to be your speaker.
Congratulations to the 12 newest members of this great body. I am certain you will find your experiences here to be most unique, challenging and interesting. You will be called upon to make decisions and vote on issues you have never contemplated before and those that you are deeply about and hold most important.
The founders of our country created the U.S. House of Representatives to reflect the will of the people. This house is the "people's house" for Wyoming. Here, the will of our citizens is reflected in house bills and budget priorities. In this house, ideas are given form and substance as bills and citizen legislators use their talents to convince their colleagues the ideas have merit and deserve statutory recognition.
You new members will come to appreciate, as your more experienced colleagues have already, that passage of a bill can be tortuous and brutal. Whether the bill contains an appropriation or not, each stage of the process requires a majority and a majority can often be hard to muster. But you will be strengthened by the fight! Your experiences will make you a better legislator. Your experiences here will give you a different perspective on your state an its fine people and your role as a citizen legislator. I, and those of us who have been here before, welcome you warmly and with open arms. Pease do not be hesitant to ask for help because there's plenty available.
To my more seasoned colleagues, I welcome you with the familiarity and friendship that only an institution like ours can instill. I am eager to work with you all again and to debate and wrestle with issues important to the state of Wyoming.
As our friend and new legislator instructor Alan Rosenthal, Professor of Political Science at the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, points out – "The engine that drives this system of representative democracy is the legislature, which is responsible for performing three vital and overlapping functions: representation, law making and balancing the power of the executive."
As representatives you offer your constituents a connection to government and may be their only real point of access. You may be the one who gives them the opportunity not only to express their views but also to be heard.
The second vital function – lawmaking – is what this legislative session is all about. Our task is to set priorities and allocate resources. We must decide among competing goods, all of which are desirable and in demand by the public – education, health, transportation, the environment and so on.
As Robert Remini points out in his "History of the House of Representatives" – the essential drama of democracy is the struggle between principle and pragmatism.
The third vital function is balancing the power of the executive. The fear of the constitutional framers was that legislatures would be too strong; today however, the tendency is in the executive direction. The Governor is one, the legislature many, and that advantage is substantial. Governors not only possess the veto – and, more importantly, the threat of the veto – but they have at their disposal the bully pulpit. It is their message that gets communicated to the public, while the legislature's messages are multiple and discordant.
The Wyoming legislature sets its own issues and priorities through its committee work between sessions and legislating during sessions. A natural conflict exists between legislatively designated priorities and executive branch priorities.
This year, as compared to the last 6 years, we are faced with a relatively modest amount of "supplemental" revenue. The Governor has set his supplemental budget priorities and the legislature will engage in setting ours.
It is time to remember from whence we came. I was first elected to the house in 1998. During the 1999 legislative session we enacted section 335 of the budget bill for an assessment of state revenues and expenditures. In May of 1999 the anticipated deficit in 2000 was 127 million with an underlying deficit of 183 million without reserve cash carryovers. In February of 2000 (months later), the deficit was zero.
Governor Gerringer suggested in his 2000 budget message that the "underlying deficit is still at least 183 million and could be over 200 million two years from now."
The big four categories of spending that made up 88% of the budget recommendations in 2000 were:
• Education (44% GF spending);
• Health care (24% GF spending);
• Public safety (13% GF spending);
• Human resources (7% GF spending).
The remaining three functional categories of spending were:
• General government (7% GF spending);
• Natural resources (3% GF spending);
• Economic development (2% GF spending – 2% to state parks, cultural resources, fire prevention and business council (1% itself)).
Governor Gerringer proposed increasing the statewide mill levy by two mills to help shoulder the state's share of school capital construction. The statewide average mill levy was approximately four and a half mills at the time and they raised about 47 million.
In response to the projected deficits, the 2000 legislature "de-earmarked" a portion of the flow of severance taxes and federal mineral royalties so that the legislature would have more discretion about now those revenues would be spent. At that time the legislature had discretionary authority over about 28% of the total revenue stream.
It just so happened that about the same time as de-earmarking revenues from oil, natural gas and coal-bed methane began to increase and increase they did!
All major sources of revenue into the general fund have increased dramatically since the year 2000.
Available dollars have been used to:
• Address mineral impacts all across the state;
• Greatly improved funding for K-12 education and UW and community colleges;
• Keep up with the demands of Medicaid funding;
• Improve heath and social services;
• Add highway funding to the GF budget;
• Enhance funds to local governments; and many others.
We have spent over 1.2 billion on school facilities with dollars from the states share of federal coal leases. The last eight years have brought extraordinary revenue growth and sizeable savings and budget increases.
Fortunately, the 2000 revenue projections did not prove out and today the state of Wyoming enjoys a surplus for the 2009/2010 biennium of 259 million. The Governor's revised supplemental budget request is 223 million.
It is now time for the house and senate appropriations committees to analyze the Governors budget and give us the legislatures budget. Because this will be happening during the session it will place additional duties upon the appropriations committee. Such are the times and I know our house appropriations committee is more than up to the task.
Today, we in this nation are faced with great uncertainty. We have seen things happen in financial and other markets and economies that are scary and confounding. The entire investment banking industry disappeared in a week! Some industries are near collapse. Trillions of dollars of savings and investments simply disappeared! Jobs in many parts of the country are increasingly more difficult to hold and even harder to find! Fortunately, for now, Wyoming still has a very low unemployment rate.
What does the national economy tell us that we can bring to bear in this general session of the 60th Wyoming Legislature? Bed-rock principles are where we must stand - investments and infrastructure that promote education, business development, wage and job growth, health and safety issues, protection of our valuable industries and economies, protecting our revenue streams, saving in a planned way and protecting our investments.
Uncertainty breeds fear that can turn to indecision. Our task in these uncertain times is to place more effort on prioritizing what must be done, what ought to be done and what could be done. This prioritization must be guided by the economic realities we see around us and a careful analysis of our budget projections for this biennium and for bienniums to come.
During this general session I ask you to be careful and deliberate in your analysis of what is prudent spending and prudent legislation. These next two years will be quite a bit different that the last eight but opportunities continue to abound.
Property tax relief – I fully support property tax relief to the owners of residential, commercial and agricultural lands in Wyoming for 2009. While the tax burden to Wyoming citizens has been lessened since school buildings are no longer constructed with local dollars and the food tax has been repealed, I still firmly believe that Wyoming is able, and should, provide property tax relief for 2009. Whether it is in the form of the Homestead Exemption (HB68) recommended by the joint revenue committee or my HB87, property tax rate reduction from 9.5% to 8.25%; both of these proposals contain one-year funding to local governments and future tax relief would be dependent on legislative appropriation to fund the dollars that go to reimburse local governments for the loss of those tax revenues. Any decreases in assessed valuations and comparable sales upon which our property tax system is based will not show up in people's property taxes until 2010 at the earliest.
Protect the ability of our minerals industries to continue to generate revenues that sustain us all.
• HB56 – Sequestration – recoverable hydrocarbons
• HB57 – Ownership of pore spaces – dominance of mineral estate
• HB58 – Responsibilities of injectors and pore space owners
• HB80 – Sequestration site unitization
• HB14 – Discharged water management
• HB111- Clean coal task force
Western States Energy Task Force – this session I will sponsor a bill to create the Western States Energy Task Force that will be a bi-partisan legislative task force with members from the executive branch and the private sector. The task force will establish a public/private partnership to develop plans and funding for a Western States Energy Conference to be held in the summer/fall of 2009. Private funding will be sought to supplement public funds. Invitees will include legislators and executive branch members from the governments of the 14 western states who are members of the Western Electric Coordinating Council; executives from all key energy industries; leadership of all concerned interest groups; top experts in the field of energy development and any other persons the task force may determine have an interest. The task force will develop a cost/benefit analysis assessing the challenges of energy development and environmental protection issues within the western states. The analysis will apply to:
• Renewable energy development and use (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal);
• Fossil fuel development and use (I.E. coal, oil, natural gas, etc.);
• Nuclear energy development/extraction and use;
• Carbon management and impacts on costs of energy, development and use (capture & sequestration, cap & trade);
• Public lands protection and development in the context of energy development and use;
• Air quality in the context of energy development and use.
The task force will be asked to develop a list or priorities that the western states should, individually and cooperatively, strive to meet. A report shall be submitted to the legislators and Governors of participating states by late fall of 2009.
Health policy Organization – The Wyoming healthcare commission sunsets in June of 2009. I believe it is imperative that the legislature continue to study healthcare and insurance issues after the sunset of the Healthcare Commission and that any organization to do so should include legislators, stake holders and lay people so the organization is more tied to the legislature.
Community college amendments – (HB114) system wide planning to prioritize programs and construction priorities.
Local government financing – (HB38 & HB39) for uniform methodology and reporting that will lead to greater analysis of revenues and expenditures.
Worker's compensation amendments - (HB54) to update benefits and practices.
School Foundation Program (SFP) amendment, we must modify the 2008 budget amendment that calls for a sweep of funds from the SFP into the common school permanent land fund until the school foundation account and the school capital construction account are funded before the sweep occurs. We will need 345 million from the 11/12/ SFP revenue to cover the cap con budget.
Retirement issues – 150 million for SFP to auditors office to protect the K-12 retirement system due to vast increases in teachers salaries.
Before I conclude my speech I would like to take a moment to recognize one of our colleagues for his service and special contributions to this house. He and I came to the legislature together in 1999 and have worked closely together fore years. He has given a great deal of himself to the institution and it is appropriate to recognize those contributions with a special gift of photographs from his term as speaker, shot and compiled by Sandy Pederson of our own LSO staff. Would Representative Cohee please come forward.
Are the events of 2008 a turning point for the long haul? Some say we are in uncharted territory, that our system has never experienced these conditions before. Indeed, this is true. But it is always true. The technology bubble collapse of 2000 was one of a kind, with no road map for business executives, government officials and investors to pull off the shelf. The same was true during the commercial real-estate crisis of 1990, the crash of 1987 (tied to portfolio insurance), the panic of 1907 (tied to speculation in the copper market), the panic of 1873 (linked to excessive expansion of railroads), and so throughout financial history.
We in Wyoming can transition quickly. We are adaptable and can move this ship of state with relative speed. We will be careful sailing in these uncharted waters. I look forward to the voyage and I eagerly anticipate beginning the legislative work of this general session.
It is now time for this house to engage its engine and perform the vital function of sorting out and setting priorities and allocating resources. We will do so with an eye to the future and our individual and collective values and goals and visions for Wyoming. It is time to go to work!
May God bless and sustain you all and our great state of Wyoming!
Following the Speaker's address, his father, former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson, gave a short humorous address recalling past history and encouragement to the house members.
ELECTION OF MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER
Representative Harshman nominated Representative Ed Buchanan for Majority Floor Leader for the Sixtieth Legislature. Representative Teeters seconded the nomination of Representative Buchanan and moved that his election be made unanimous dispensing with the roll call.
The motion carried. Mr. Speaker appointed Representatives Goggles and Dave Zwonitzer to escort Representative Buchanan to the rostrum. Justice Voigt administered the oath of office.
REMARKS BY MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker Pro Tem, Madame Majority Whip, Madame Minority Leader, Mr. Minority Whip, fellow legislators of the 60th Wyoming Legislature, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor and privilege to stand before you as your majority floor leader. You have bested your trust in me and to the honor I pledge my best.
We are convened at a point in history wherein we face palpable uncertainty. Unrest swirls on many continents. The work economy hangs in the balance as many nations struggle with faltering economies. Here in America, we face the most serious economic crisis this nation has seen in a half century. And in Wyoming, we have already begun to feel the effects with tighter budgets and an overall atmosphere of hesitance as we look to the future.
Fellow legislators, despite all of this, there is no better time for us to be here, in the hallowed halls of this great Capitol, in the greatest state in the nation. For now, more than ever, we have been called to lead. We have been called to lead by our constituents, called to work for them, called to carefully craft laws to improve their lives, sustain their communities, and their way of life.
Surely, it is not an easy task. As we look at ourselves, our nation, and our democracy, we see a healthy struggle of ideology. A search for the answers to questions which will forever shape our history and define our legacy to our posterity.
The questions are many. Some answers will seem easy. Others will require debate, reflection, and most importantly leadership. We must debate within this body those issues most important to our people. We must find clear, strong solutions to protect our own economy, our own citizens and our own sovereignty. These solutions must prove Wyoming to be a model citizen to our nation and our world. We should embrace this opportunity to demonstrate how Wyoming leadership, which is grounded in our state's rich heritage, girded with good ol' common sense, conservative values and crowned with visionary action, can make the least populated state in America one of the greatest places on earth to live, work and raise families.
Now, despite recent and disappointing news regarding financials, we still have a surplus and there is reason to be optimistic if we exercise leadership. And, we've been here before. You ask: Here? Where is that? It is January, 1941 here in this place, a world war, a recession at hand. Governor Nels H. Smith, addressing the 26th legislature in his state of the state address, said: "I am happy to advise the members of this body that, while many other states are now attempting to find new sources of revenue in an effort to balance their budgets, our budget is balanced, with a substantial surplus in the general fund. This has been accomplished while amply caring for the aged and meeting our general relief load. It will be possible to maintain this fiscal condition of the state treasury and continue to care for those less fortunate than we are, if an economical administration of state affairs and a conservative program is pursued."
My dear colleagues, it is imperative that we recognize the volatility of our state's economy and temper that volatility with sound fiscal thinking. For our new members and even the public, it is important to remember that approximately 70% of Wyoming's valuation is based on natural gas, coal and oil. Natural gas is the majority of that 70%. I want to remind us all of two things. First, we would not have a surplus if not for the carry-over money from fiscal year 2008. Second, any surplus is still a projection and the only reason we had a carry-over was because in the 2008 budget session we showed some fiscal restraint and when we left, commodity prices rose for the final six months of the fiscal year.
Once we decide to temper our volatility with sound, conservative fiscal policy, we need to take a hard look at what we spend our money on and the return we are or are not receiving. While there are many areas that can be addressed, one area of spending has worried me more than any other – and that is education. While we have wisely invested in our childrens' education, dutifully seen to it that our teachers are among the best compensated educators in the nation, and made college financially feasible for our graduates, we have a problem. I believe we are at the precipice of financial calamity in this area. How can we spend wisely in a system wherein our control has been largely usurped and dictated by the judiciary? How can we use fiscal restraint to weather the volatilities of our economy, when we have so little control over our single largest expenditure? And sadly, even if we could afford it, how can we justify it to the people we work for when we continue to see warning signs within the system?
Just a few more questions: Why do so many kids lose their Hathaway Scholarships when they get to college? Why do 40% of high school graduates need remedial classes once they get to college? Why don't we see improvement in test scores? My friends, we must have the courage to provide leadership on this issue. We must demand, for our constituents, answers to these questions and we must take action. If we do not, we will have failed as leaders.
In all of the issues challenging our state, I encourage each of you to file that bill you are holding because it may be controversial. Or you're holding because you will take heat from a large interest group. It is time to lead.
So, let's gear up, saddle up, and go into this session thoughtfully, wisely and bravely as we collectively serve the people of Wyoming.
ELECTION OF SPEAKER PRO TEM
Representative Semlek nominated Representative Frank Philp as Speaker Pro Tem for the Sixtieth Legislature. Representative Miller seconded the nomination and moved that his election be made unanimous dispensing with the roll call.
The motion carried. The Speaker appointed Representatives Gingery and Anderson to escort Representative Philp to the rostrum. Justice Voigt administered the oath of office.
REMARKS BY SPEAKER PRO TEM
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Secretary of State, Madam Deputy Secretary of State, members of the Majority and Minority Leadership, Honorable members of the House of Representatives, and honored guests, including my wife Janet.
I am grateful and honored to be serving the people of the great State of Wyoming and this body of the House of Representatives in a leadership role. Thank you for electing me; I will do whatever I can to help achieve a successful session.
As we came to Cheyenne, we crossed many different and varied landscapes, from mountains to plains, forests to deserts, rocky peaks and even sagebrush flats. We saw many different visions of the landscapes we know and love in Wyoming.
Just as the landscapes across the state are varied and different, the ideas that we bring to the legislature also span a wide variety. There are many different perceptions as to what is right for the State of Wyoming.
Yet when we arrive at Cheyenne we recognize and respect the long standing traditions. Listening, treating people fairly, and dealing with tough issues with civility – these are hallmarks of the House of Representatives.
Regardless of which corner of the state you came from, growing up you probably learned these basic rules:
Play fair
Share with others
Don't hit
And now I'm going to do what we were frequently told to do – sit down – and let's get to work!
Thank you all very much. I look forward to this 60th session of the Legislature.
REMARKS BY THE MINORITY FLOOR LEADER
Representative Saundra Meyer: Ever since the Chief Clerk informed me I would be giving a speech, I have awakened in the early hours of the morning wondering what that message should contain. I began by thinking of the national economic crisis and it's affect on Wyoming. Will there be a reduction of federal dollars that will require additional state funding? Next my thoughts centered on projections of decreased state revenues and how that will affect the state. I continued to agonize over the message until the realization came to me to focus on our tasks as legislators.
Our task as legislators is to represent people in our districts and all the people of Wyoming by addressing state needs now and in the future. Although budgets are critical to keep the state solvent and running, there are other issues the legislature will need to address during this 60th legislative session. One person or one group cannot provide all the solutions to the issues. The old adage two heads (or more) are better than one hold true in the legislature. Team work can ensure the best ideas can be found in meeting the needs of the state. I have found during my terms in the legislature, that regardless of political party, we as legislators have the same interests for the state. Those interests are planning and providing for the people of Wyoming now and in the future. We may have different philosophies on how to accomplish the task, but the desired results are the same. Cooperation and communication with majority party members already is evident this session. Through continued communication, cooperation and compromise, we as legislators can meet the challenges before us and best serve the people of Wyoming. I look forward to a great and productive session working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both houses.

STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS
GOVERNOR DAVE FREUDENTHAL
CHEYENNE, WYOMING
JANUARY 14, 2009
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, members of the 60th Legislature, and the citizens of Wyoming, I appreciate this opportunity to speak with you today.
Yesterday I came up through the back way to watch the administration of the oath of office in the House. Each time session convenes, I either go the Senate or the House to watch because I think the oath of office is one of the most remarkable things in a representative democracy.
There's that quintessential moment when the shallowcies of politics and election reside, when suddenly the oath is administered, and before God and our fellow man we all swear to uphold the Constitution, the state, the law of Wyoming and implicitly acknowledge our responsibility and try to figure out what is the right thing to do. It is at that point where we go from simply being in pursuit of votes to in pursuit of the right outcome for the state of Wyoming, recognizing that we are a representative democracy and that we try to represent our constituents, we try to make sure we're representing the best angels of the spirit or our constituents.
So I thank you for that opportunity. I congratulate all of you for being here.
It is a remarkable, troubling and challenging time, not only in the United States but in the world, and hence, in Wyoming. In the last six months, we have watched the remarkable decline of the national economy, the state economy, individuals, corporations and the people of the world.
In that context, the world has lost nearly 30 million – 30 trillion of wealth. The United States alone has lost 7 trillion of wealth, the greatest loss of wealth to occur in this country or this world at any time, including the Great Depression.
This national recession is going on, and we are not immune. We have a false sense of immunity in Wyoming. The individuals don't, but the data suggests that there is. The individuals in this state, just like around the country, have watched their personal wealth decline, have watched their retirement plans be modified, are watching their children enter a job market that is far tighter than it has ever been, are sitting patiently watching as we begin the decline of real estate values in Wyoming.
This morning in this morning's papers you saw another set of layoffs in Wyoming. There have been layoffs throughout the state. And I believe that it is going to get much worse before it gets better.
Wyoming has historically been a state that enters a recession late and exits a recession late. And that pattern is being repeated in Wyoming today. And as you know from talking to your constituents, or looking at your own investment accounts, it is a very real issue in Wyoming, and it will continue to be that.
Whether people are still employed or not, they're finding their hours cut, less overtime available. What used to be two-income households are now one-income households.
And you can see it beginning to have its effect on governmental services. Medicaid numbers are beginning to rise. The traffic at the Department of Workforce Service centers has probably doubled, at least anecdotally it has probably doubled what it has been in the past, and we expect that to continue to rise.
And so we arrive here today with a set of mixed messages. The data says we have the lowest unemployment rate in the country in November, and yet if you're the one who is unemployed, it is more than just a number.
I was in a meeting the other day with a friend of mine, and at that point she offered the observation that she had gotten a call the night before from her child who had been laid off. Her son lived in a different part of the country, and yet the implications for her and her budget and what she needed to do were severe.
So as we stand here today, we need to understand that this is the beginning of a difficult period, not the end of a difficult period, and that we are not immune. And we face this uncertainty in the context of very mixed messages from the citizens.
Not recently there was a set of stories where it was acknowledged that the population in Wyoming had increased by 9,000 people. Off of a base of 523, we went to 532.
The response to those stories absolutely amazed me. The response to those stories from a substantial part of the public was, "What do we need these people for? Let's send them back. Where did they come from? They weren't born here." Nine thousand people, a growth rate that this state had longed for, for decades, when all of us campaigned, including me, everybody said, "I want growth. I want things to happen in this state," and then all of a sudden when it does, we find the body politic, a set of citizens who say, "What is going on? What are these people doing here? Why are we trying to accommodate them?"
I would argue that in the context of representative democracy, that those are messages that we need not represent in our public life. They exist, but they should not be our guiding principle.
As elected leaders, our responsibility is to make sure that growth continues, that growth occurs, and that we take care that the proceeds, the revenues from that growth are properly invested in the economy, that it remains an issue in this state, and I encourage you to disregard that thought and to concentrate on what the future can be.
The other change that's occurred, not just population, but the other change that's occurred to make our life more uncertain is this change in revenues. If you remember, in July when oil was $150.00, and people were talking about surplus, billion, billion two, billion five, huge numbers, so the interim committees were out working, putting together proposals that contemplate those kinds of revenues, and then when the revenues were finally projected in October, suddenly there was this drastic decline to 900 million.
And at that point I remained skeptical that 900 million was there. They projected the price of oil at 75 bucks. I wasn't confident of that and did not budget to that number, budgeted to what I thought was a safe number of 440 million.
Well, in a matter of less that three weeks from the time I submitted my budget, it became clear that that was not a safe number, and so in January you had a new set of budget projections of 259 million, when in July we thought we were looking at a billion or a billion and a half of revenue available.
So we arrive here with a little unease with regard to the quality of the projections. We also arrive here in the context of having had a set of expectations that were built up not only within this body and within the executive branch of government, but a set of expectations that were built up in the public and in the interest groups about what we were able to fund and what we might be able to do.
So each of you, much in the same position that I am, are telling people, "No, we're not going to fund it, and they're saying, "But in the summer you said you thought you could."
There's a real issue, I think, getting people to understand that the expectations have changed so dramatically, not just for individuals, but also for government. Many good ideas have fallen. They've been taken out of the budget. Many good ideas that have been offered by the interim committees will also fall. Individual proposals will fall.
I early on supported and continued support but know that it won't happen – just by chance it happens to be in Thermopolis – but there was a Wyoming, Big Horn Basin Discovery Center that they hoped to build. I remember being in my home town and said, "You bet" – this was early in the summer – "I think there's revenue. We can take a look at that." Now I have to call my county commissioner friends and say, "Never mind, the world has changed."
I suspect my circumstance is no different than yours. These ideas that we had and the hopes that we had are simply not going to come to fruition.
And so we all enter into a state of grieving. Remember that the phases of grief are fairly well outlined, and just a couple of them are most applicable to us.
First, there's shock and denial: Surely the CREG is wrong. Surely it is not correct. And eventually we accept that it is correct.
Then we move on to anger. And anger is probably the most difficult part because we begin to look for somebody to blame, whether it is our fellow legislators, legislative branch that I can blame, or you can blame the executive branch. But we go through this process of saying, "I may have to accept it, but I don't have to accept responsibility for it." And it is compounded by telling constituents no to things that four months ago we were saying yes to.
This question about blame and anger is particularly dangerous in the context of politics. George Washington in his farewell address in 1796 warned about the problems of factions of politics that, in fact, is an incredibly dangerous thing, and I think in this country today we would do well to heed his admonition.
Washington observed the following: "I have already intimated to you that dangers of parties in the state and warn with you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of wise people to discourage and restrain it."
Recognizing as Washington did that there is a role for politics and faction as a fire not to be quenched, but it does demand a uniform vigilance to prevent its busting into flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.
Politics is a way that we organize the discourse; it cannot be a way that we control the discourse.
Why do I bring it up? This is the first session for most of the people here in which you're actually going to have to make some really hard decisions about budget, hard decisions that have to do with saying no in a way that we've never had to say it before. In prior years we would say, "No, not this year. Maybe next year."
This year we may be compelled to say, "No, and maybe not for a long time."
The recourse, if it turns out to be that we choose to say it is the legislature's fault, or the governor's fault, or one party or the other party's fault or one faction within a party's fault, we will end up with an incredibly unproductive session. So I hope that we can move quickly to the other stages of grief, which is working through it and then acceptance and hope.
But, before we conclude that the sky is falling, let's just take a brief look back. The years I was first elected in 2003, the projected number for the price of oil was $18.00. The price of oil in these current projections which we find so dismal is $40.00.
In 2003 the projected price for natural gas was $2.00. Today in these projection we're operating on, it is $3.75.
And for coal in 2003 it was $5.90, and in these projections it is $11.06.
Now, these comparisons don't change the fact that we have less funding available than we thought we had. Bear in mind that we are still in remarkably good position relative to other states.
So when I approached the budget, the supplemental budget, both my original recommendations and the second set of recommendations, I kept a couple of things in mind.
One is the strategy that's been adopted over the last few years remains basically sound. We need to address the accumulated problems that arose in the state during the last several decades when there was no money.
Secondly, we set about an effort to invest in efforts to build Wyoming's future. Whether it was on clean coal, whether it was building roads or looking at schools, we invested in those, treated them as one-time expenditures, but invested in them.
The third principle was that we limited ongoing expenditures. If you look at the base budget for this biennium, there's in excess of a billion dollars on one-time expenditures in that budget, the billion dollars in the standard budget that we do not have to repeat if the economic circumstance continues, so we remain basically, I think, sound of course and need to move forward.
Now, the second thing that guided me was that we are looking at these expenditures based on an incredibly substantial two-year budget. It was a generous budget that was adopted last time, and so when people come to you an say, "There's no money for my program," I would encourage you to look at the underlying budget before you accept that argument.
Couple of illustrations. In the area of mental health and substance abuse, funding has gone up 135 percent in the last few years. In the area of developmental disabilities, the funding has gone up 35 percent. And in the area of education, my calculator was insufficient to reach that number, but it has gone up immensely.
We are not being asked to do more with less. We are being asked to do more with less money than we expected. If you have any doubt of the enviable circumstance that we're in, call one of your peers, call someone else around the country in any one of the 43 states or 44 states that are looking at amazing budget cuts. I emphasize this in part to you, but in part to the citizens of the state to understand that part to the citizens of the state to understand that there is not funding available, that there are not needs that have been left unaddressed.
We may not be able to fund every request.
And I know from my correspondence since I did my recommendations that there are significant reservations about our failure to fund some of these requests. But I urge you to be careful.
And it is not that we're broke. There's funding out there, and we could, we can eventually, if we have to, we can change the diversion of the additional 1 percent of the severance tax or the governmental trust fund. We don't need to that. We shouldn't do it. And we can contemplate it and they have done it in the past. There are revenues available. The fact that there are revenues available does not mean that they need to be spent.
So what was the guiding light on my recommendations? I emphasize finishing the capital construction, staying on that course. Money for highways, airports and some things that impact the economy to make sure that we create jobs. It is my view that the capital construction funded by the state scattered around the state creates jobs, stimulates the economy and adds revenues.
There's also within this budget $900,000.00 that is designed to do very targeted advertising to help maintain some semblance of normality in the tourism sector. The tourism sector is not only important for that sector itself, but it is important because it may be the one source of additional retail expenditures for many of the stores, cafes and other operations in Wyoming.
So I encourage you to look upon that as an asset to the economy.
Second thing, I think we need to address some accrued obligations. And one of those obligations is the actuarial shortfall in the retirement account as it relates to accommodating the significant increase we made in teacher salaries.
It is really pretty simple. Teachers paid in for many, many years at one salary rate. They eventually retire at a salary rate that is based on the increase in salaries that we have offered and put into the system over the last few years because their retirement is based on their highest three years of salary. That has created an actuarial shortfall in the retirement account in being able to maintain the defined benefits for the educational community.
I have allocated 150 million to go into the auditor's office to be available to make sure that we can eventually fund that. I do not support putting that money into the retirement account today because I think that, based on the audit that was prepared, we need to examine the accuracy of those numbers and to make sure that it is correct.
The other thing I set about doing was trying to move forward the agenda on some things that we have already started. Most notable in that is the opening of the new facility at Torrington. Many years ago we collectively made a decision that we would rather house prisoners in the state that out of the state. The decision was made to build a prison at Rawlins or Torrington. I know they wanted it in Rawlins, but we built it in Torrington. We are now at the stage where we need to open it, make use of it and bring the prisoners back to the state.
I know that it is a significant impact on the budget. It is 158 employees, 158 added employees associated with the opening of the facility at Torrington.
I also included in the budget not a great deal of funding for local governments, but there is one fund that we need to complete, and that is some money for Wamsutter. It is three and a half million. The reason that it is in the budget is that we have a corporate match for those funds available to us if we follow through. We made a commitment that we would try to fund that. It is an area that needs the assistance, and I would encourage you to do it.
I also have funded a recommended funding for the Gillette water project. I did that not because the president of the Senate is from Gillette, but because it is a project I've supported for some time. It is a relatively modest amount, around 11 million, but it is enough to keep that project moving forward, and hopefully that will happen.
But the other thing I had to do in this budget was forgo some things that are near and dear. Took all of the funding out of the Wildlife Trust Fund, took the funding out of the Library Trust, took the funding out of and removed funding that was recommended for the Cultural Trust Fund. It seemed to me that I can't stand in front of you and ask you to forgo your particular spending proposal if I don't demonstrate some restraint on my part. Those are projects that are near and dear to me, but they simply are not within the reach of the budget.
Let me illustrate generally what the budget looks like. I will do it using the Military department. In the context of the Military department, there were some things I funded and there were some things I didn't. I asked for an additional million dollars for the effort that has been underway for many years for us to have funds available to assist the families of the deployed soldiers.
That million dollar calculation is based on the fact that come a couple months from now we will have the single greatest deployment of Army Guardsmen that has ever occupied in this state's history. We will have approximately 950 soldiers who will be deployed, and once they are deployed, their family members may have some needs that we should meet.
Within that context, I did the million dollars as new funding. Arguably you could have taken that out of the corpus of the military trust fund. I would argue that we leave that corpus alone and that we fund this out of current revenues.
I also funded vault and casket handling equipment. You can look at that line item and say, "You know, we really don't have to do that." In that sense you are correct. We could continue a practice in which the caskets of our veterans are moved about by a backhoe. I find that completely unacceptable, and I would ask for funding to make sure that we handle that the way that it should be done, not the way that we're doing it today.
And lastly, I've asked for funding for a World War II Memorial in Cody. Again, you can say, "We don't have to do it. World won't end if we don't." But Wyoming is a better place if we do.
Why are we doing it? Two reasons. One is based on some data, not this year, but within the last few years, Wyoming has the highest per capita number of World War II veterans of any state in the United States. We are losing our World War II veterans at an astounding rate. And I believe that we should build a memorial, place it in Cody and have it done while it is still meaningful to the remainder of those veterans.
The issue with regard to the families of the military deployed, we need to understand that Wyoming is probably either first or second on a per capita basis of the number of people who sign up and go to military service in the country. Arguably you could say we're fourth depending on how you like that data, but since I'm Governor of the state, the data is going to say what I want it to say.
But it is important that we recognize the contribution that these men and women make and the contribution that their families make by living through deployments, and I encourage you to support it.
In that context, we're joined today by some representatives who I would like to introduce of the military. One is Major General Ed Wright, Adjutant General.
We have Colonel Rich Knowlton, Commander of the 115th FIRES Brigade; Command Sergeant Major Kenton Franklin of 115th FIRES Brigade; Colonel Dennis Grunstad, the new Commander of the 153rd Airlift Wing; Chief Master Sergeant Tom Loftin. Ladies and gentleman, these represent wonderful soldiers.
I know that the Military Department sends out notices to each of you to give you the time and date and location of the deployments. I would encourage any of you who are able to participate. It is my experience that they are okay if we're there at deployment. When you return it is okay if you're there, but they don't want to spend a lot of time with you. They would rather be with their family. But I think that if we can show that kind of support, we should continue to do it.
In the context of restricted budget, I will tell you there are only two legislative measures at this point, because I haven't seen everything that's been introduced – there's only two legislative measures with funding that I am supporting.
Those two measures are the First Children's Finance Program and the Health Reform – Healthcare Reform Pilot Project. I have identified sources within the current funding stream that I can offer up in order to fun those and am not asking for additional General Fund consideration. I hope that this body will give each of them some serious deliberation.
The First Children's Finance Program is our continuing effort to try to address the lack of available child care in Wyoming. I know that you hear from your constituents, just as I do, that one of the most serious issues in the state is the absence of available child care. I believe this is a constructive way to address part of that problem.
The Healthcare Reform Pilot is a much improved version of a bill that made it from the Senate over the House but didn't quite make it out last session. It is much improved in two ways: I think it is a clearer statement with regard to the responsibilities of the individual and the role of the state and the role of the employer, but it is also substantially less expensive that the last time we offered it through.
I understand the reticence people have with regard to trying to do anything in the healthcare area. We have watched states throughout this county who have adopted healthcare programs on a broad base and have found themselves financially unable to fund it.
This is why I support a fairly narrow pilot which emphasizes individual responsibility for their health, emphasizes additional time with the patient and the primary care physician, tries to make that a financially workable circumstance and is intended to bridge that gap so that people can eventually move to a private insurance market, understanding that I'm not sure whether this will work. I believe it works. It has the correct principles. I encourage you to adopt the pilot. If the pilot works, it has some potential going forward to help us address issues of insurance availability and also to help us address the general cost of healthcare.
I have become convinced that the only way we're going to actually address the spiraling costs of healthcare is to begin to place more responsibility for the management of our health on us as individuals. We have a history in this country of essentially saying, "I don't worry about my health. I don't worry about what I eat. I don't worry about what I smoke. As soon as I get unhealthy, I will go to the doctor and he will cure me.
There's two things wrong with that: One is it doesn't work because not everything is curable. And secondly, it is a huge expense.
I believe that one of the things we have to do not just in this state but in this country is to figure out a way for us to deal with the demand side of healthcare and begin to take more responsibility for our own health.
Some bills that do not have General Fund impact that I would commend to you are the four carbon sequestration bills. This state has established itself in a leadership role with regard to carbon sequestration. These bills will move us further in that direction. Is it perfect? Probably not. We may back over the years asking for additional changes, but it is important, particularly as we move forward in a carbon-constrained world, that Wyoming take a leadership role in making sure that carbon capture and sequestration can be done.
Worker's compensation has been looked at by the interim committee. I'm generally comfortable with the bill. There are a couple things in the bill as well as a couple other measures floating around with which I do not have quite the high degree of comfort.
I'm concerned that we make sure that any cost-of-living increases that we integrate into this process have a cap; that it is one that is identifiable; that we make it a circumstance where we can make them being actuarially calculable.
Secondly, I am concerned about the proposition that we would open up this workers' compensation program too broadly with regard to mental health and mental illness. If you decide to go on that course, I encourage you to make it as narrow as possible. Let's start gently into that area to make sure that we have some sense of the actuarial implications to the employers in this state.
When people suggest to you that really it is the workers' comp fund, it is not really money, we can just take it, remember the source of all of those dollars are the employers in this state, and I encourage you to be thoughtful and narrow.
I do support changing the death benefits and some of the other things. We frankly, should be embarrassed at the current levels. They haven't been looked at in 25 years, and I think it is time that we increase those. But I urge you some caution with regard to the other measures.
I also support what is called the Court-Ordered Treatment Bill. I bring it up because this may be the first time since I've been here that the Chief Justices will not get up right after me and say, "We don't support it." In that context, we previously talked about problem-solving courts and drug courts, usually, I get up and make the pitch; Chief Justice gets up and says, "We don't support it," and it dies.
This time we bring to you a compromise bill, frankly, largely drafted, and I want to commend Chief Justice Voigt for his efforts, a compromise bill that I believe addresses people's concerns, but also recognizes that we have a set of courts out there, and we need a structure in which they're going to operate. I encourage you to take a serious look at that.
I would also ask that you consider removing the sales and tax use – sales and use tax exemption on wind energy projects. I've heard from any number of county commissioners that they are dealing with the impact of the development of wind energy, and they have no revenue.
I acknowledge that it is appropriate for me to ask because I asked you to put the exemption in the first place. And we did that because we wanted to signal that Wyoming is ready for business, particularly with regard to wind energy.
I would say that we have succeeded. More importantly, the driving force behind the development of wind energy is not an exemption from the state sales and use tax policy, is the federal production tax credit. The federal production tax credit is the incentive that causes it to be created. There is little or no revenue that accrues to the counties in the jurisdictions where they're located, and I believe it is appropriate at this time, recognizing the underlying strength of that industry as afforded by the federal production tax credit, that the state end its indirect subsidy of that business and we allow that business to prosper, as it will, unaided by the state's policy.
Couple other issues I want to talk about. There's some stuff running around here about gambling again. I wanted you to know that I haven't changed my position on it. I don't support it. I have said and I stand by my commitment that if I get a nice, regulator PowerBall bill, I've said I will support that. If it has some of the additions with regard to InstaRace and some of the other items that I think move us much closer to gaming as opposed to PowerBall, I hope that you will not send that bill to me.
I've read the Constitution. I know what I can say and what I can't say.
I also am mindful that there will be another proposal that will be brought to you that will originate in the House that we again give the voters a change to take a look at a tort reform amendment. I would encourage you to debate that and pass it to the voters and let them take another look at it in 2010. The issue I know has been before the voters before. I believe that it remains an issue for which this state still continues to search for a solution. I believe that we should give the voters the opportunity to pursue that measure and decide whether they want to adopt it or not. It is a slightly modified measure that was offered to the voters before, and I would commend it to your deliberations.
There are also a series of bills that I view as simply telling people how to run their lives and how to run their businesses. I would encourage you to be cautious. The fact the government may have power over people and over their businesses doesn't mean that we need to exercise it. Sometimes the best use of power is to leave it unused.
I would commend to you the thoughts of Barry Goldwater. Mindful that the majority of you are of his persuasion, I have decided that I will speak to you from the "Book of Goldwater."
Goldwater spoke of traditional conservatism and said the following: "The positive role of limited government has always been the defense of these fundamental principles. The conservative movement is founded on the simple tenet that people have the right to live life as they please as long as they don't hurt anyone else in the process."
That was good wisdom then, and it is good wisdom now. When I look at some of the proposals, I hope that you have other things to occupy your time.
I want to commend the Senate President for some things he said yesterday that I read in the paper, asking some fairly serious questions about education, about juveniles and about some of the programs we're doing.
The question of juveniles is one that we will continue to address over the next few years. I would encourage you to create an interim committee which will look at this question of facilities, but needs to look at it more broadly.
When it comes to juveniles, there are four things we need to think about: We need a single point of entry into the criminal justice system for youth that are charged. Right now we have multiple courts, multiple systems and multiple entry points.
We need an immediate and comprehensive assessment tool, some form of a tool that assesses what is the right supposition of this juvenile in the circumstances they're under.
We need a community-based system of care, and that includes diversion and it also runs the gamut to secure detention.
Having once assessed what's the proper outcome for a youth, we need to make sure we have the facilities available going forward.
And then we need a data collection system. This question about the data with regard to juveniles, again, suffers from disparate data sources, difficulty in comparing them, and how do we act on the information to develop policy.
I hope that you will take this opportunity to have some form of interim committee, hopefully a standing committee, take a look at this issue going forward.
So if we don't have a lot of money to spend, we have relatively limited number of bills, although I see they're increasing, what is it that we should do with our time as we spend these 40 days together?
There are a number of these proposals that are good proposals. They're just not going to be able to get funded. We just can't afford it. We shouldn't afford it. We have time though over this time in the session as well as going forward to refine those proposals, think about them with a little more care. It doesn't hurt to follow the old carpenter's rule about measure twice and cut once. I think it applies to legislation as well as anything else. So let's use that time.
And as you do that, please think about what it is we're trying to accomplish with a given piece of legislation. There's a sort of notion somehow if you don't pass something, you've failed as a legislator. I will tell you that I've come to the view in my old age that maybe the best legislators don't pass anything. The stuff in the statute books is confusing enough as it is. It wouldn't hurt us to repeal a few and pass a lot fewer.
Think about what it is you're trying to get done. More importantly, think about what is this, this level that you say you're out to remedy. We have chosen to turn everything into a felony.
I notice in the proposed immigration bill that harboring, we're going to turn it into a state felony. What that means is county attorneys will have more cases to prosecute, the Torrington prison will fill up faster, and the only burden we're meeting is a burden that legitimately belongs with the federal government.
The absence of the federal government solving a problem doesn't mean we ought to step up and spend a lot of state money addressing one more federal issue that they haven't handled. We do enough of that. Maybe there's another way to address the issue.
I'm comfortable on immigration when we say we don't want illegal immigrants taking advantage of state assistance. When we begin to move to the next step, which is to fill the void left by the federal government, I get nervous because it is going to cost us money, and, for one thing, it seems to me that we ought to calculate that out before we start down that road.
I would also encourage you in this process to look at what I call the inherent budget drivers. We have within this system – and each of the jurisdictional committees can take a look at it.
We have within the system a series of statutory language that forces expansions of the budget. One of the areas in which that occurs in most often is in the Health Department. Immense number of programs over there which we say we will adjust it every year or every three years. We are getting ourselves into the position where we have obligated ourselves to fund things, and we have lost the control that the legislature keeps telling me they want of the purse.
For instance, when I came in, I wanted to do away with the legislative earmarks – so that local governments could get more money. I was told that no, legislature doesn't want to re-establish earmarks because we want to control the appropriations. So you've gained control of the revenue stream coming in, but you have lost control of the revenue stream going out by virtue of the number of statutory formulas that now become automatic inclusions in the executive branch budget.
We have this lull in revenues. Let's take advantage of that to try to figure out whether we're doing the system correctly. The fact that we don't have more money doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking about we are spending the money we're currently spending properly and are we doing it in a way that is rational.
Perhaps the largest area in which that occurs is K through 12 funding. I realize I'm not the constitutional officer charged with the supervision of education. That properly belongs under Article 7, Section 14 with the Superintendent of Public Instruction. But I will tell you in my role as Chief Budget Officer I have been responsible along with you with finding the money and increasing the funding. And we have done that.
Wyoming ranks first or second in nearly all of those ratings in terms of the funding effort. And then it falls off. Whether it is test scores or matriculation or it is dropout rate, we are in a position where the only A we get on the report card is for funding. And after that it drops off, and it drops off dramatically.
The driver of that is the school funding formula where we have picked up a wide variety of things that people hoped would work and would be part of the funding formula and would be part of the school system. We have the opportunity now to go back and look, are we making the right investment?
It is not my intent to supersede the authority of the superintendent of public instruction, but to – and we have spoken of this – but to try to work with him to begin to ask these questions in a systematic way.
The best statement of policy about what it is this state wants to accomplish with K through 12 education is found in the statutes for the State Board of Education. In essence, it says the state, its goal, is to provide students an opportunity to acquire sufficient knowledge and skills at a minimum to enter the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges, to prepare students for the job market or post-secondary, vocational and technical training and to achieve the general purposes of education – of an education that equips students for their role as citizens and as participants in the political system and to have the opportunity to compete both intellectually and economically in the society.
I believe that we are placing funding at a high enough level that the goal should be achievable.
I encourage you, particularly the Joint Education Committee, to adopt a working ethic along with the superintendent that we begin to try to figure out how it is that we are spending money at a level that gets us an A on the report card and all the rest of the grades are not grades that we would want to take home to show to our parents.
It seems to me that we have questions that need to be asked, and they need to be asked now before we move into the recalibration of the school financing formula.
Having painted that rather grim picture, I want to tell you about a part of the budget that I'm most enthusiastic about and hope that it will remain as it is.
As you know, thanks to Senator Enzi, we have been able to obtain a significant amount of the abandoned mine land funds that the state has been due for decades and we have not begun to receive those. We began with that program by isolating those funds and dedicating them to building the energy and environmental future of this state. It has funded coal gasification, coal and clean coal technology research. It is looking at carbon capture and sequestration.
There's a big chunk in that budget to finish out our partnership for the coal gasification facility that is being done in conjunction with the University and a major industry. There's a chunk of that budget which is dedicated to trying to understand what it is that is creating the air quality issues with regard to ozone in southwestern Wyoming.
I encourage you to leave that funding there. If we do not sort out this ozone question and get a better understanding of what is going on, our ability to continue to produce natural gas at the rate that it is being produced there will be severely restricted.
I encourage you to remain committed to a budget that invests in the future of Wyoming and particularly in its energy and environmental future. I emphasize that because I, like a number of you, have been approached by people saying, "Look, let's not do that this year. This year let's take the AML money and spend it on," and fill in the blank, whether it is a project in Gillette or social services or something else. There's a lot of pressure to take what is fundamentally our key investment in the energy and environmental future of this state and use it for other purposes.
Please, please, please, with all deference to the other needs of the present, let us remain committed to a course that invests funding in the future of this state.
You know, the circumstance we find ourselves in is one of uncertainty, one of serious challenge, so I go looking for places, where do we find advice? We all know Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds to ever grace the world. A mind of his quality came up with a very simple set of advice which he sent to his son in a letter.
He says, "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." In Wyoming, for us to keep our balance, we must keep moving.
There's a tendency in times of uncertainty, in times in which we're not quite clear what the future is going to bring, to recede into an area of comfort and inaction. I would argue that there's nothing worse we could do for the citizens of this state.
The more western way to say what Einstein had to say is it is time for us to ride out the storm. Those of you who have been out moving livestock know what I'm talking about. You're out there and you've got a job to do, and here comes a summer storm. Not time then to forget the livestock and head to the barn. It is time to ride out the storm, get the job done, and finish your task.
We are indeed in a storm. The storm is going to affect this state and this country and those that we love, and those that we don't know. The only thing we can do is to stay focused, stick with the underlying agenda, limit our expenditures, take advantage of the opportunity to review how we're spending money and become much more focused about the future.
It is important because, as Senator Joseph Carey said, "Each generation should be willing to leave after it more than it finds at its beginning. There would be little left in the world for any of us if the policy had been for one age to exhaust and destroy and leave but little to the succeeding. We owe it to the present, we owe it to the future to heed the admonition that our greatest obligation is to leave more behind after we have been here than was here when we arrived."
Ladies and gentlemen, I look forward to working with you. I look forward to hearing from the citizens of the state about the budget. God bless you and Godspeed. Thank you.

STATE OF THE JUDICIARY
BARTON R. VOIGT, CHIEF JUSTICE
JANUARY 14, 2009
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Governor and Mrs. Freudenthal, members of the Sixtieth Wyoming Legislature, elected officials, fellow judges, friends and fellow citizens:
I am pleased to appear before you for my third report on the state of Wyoming's judiciary. The phrase "Three strikes and you're out" occurred to me, but then again you can't hit what you don't swing at, so here goes.
Two years ago, my remarks covered 24 pages. Last year it was 31 pages. So my goal this year was 38 pages of absolutely essential information crucial to your understanding of the operation of the judicial branch of government.
Luckily for you, my wife tells me that I am getting considerably less interesting with age and that I really ought to say as little as possible. I will try to adhere to that advice.
The biggest news, at least for us in the Supreme Court, is that we are back home on the east side of Capitol Avenue after two years in exile. Many of you have been through the remodeled building, and I am sure you agree that it is now a treasure for the people of Wyoming. This body should congratulate itself for the foresight it showed in doing what was right to preserve the Supreme Court building and to enhance its utility. That building is the physical representation of the judicial branch of government in Wyoming, and it deserves the same veneration and respect as does the building in which we are now meeting. As you all know, we are holding a special court session this afternoon at 4:30 for the specific purpose of showing you the building and thanking you for it. The court session will be brief, leaving you all time to tour the building as your time permits and for some refreshments.
I have always believed, and I think most judges and political scientists agree, that the judiciary in America's system of government is meant to be the most conservative branch. By that I mean the judiciary is supposed to be the farthest removed from the whims, fancies and fads of the day, with the law developing slowly and surely over time, rather than in knee-jerk reaction to changing events. Unfortunately, that precept has to some extent also controlled our approach to procedure and methodology – how we do what we do. That is why you will find more leather-bound ledger books and quill pens in America's courthouses that anywhere else.
I make that point to emphasize how amazed I have been that my tenure as Chief Justice has been marked by an almost constant attention to technology – computers, servers, electronic case management systems, electronic filing, electronic citations, digital courtroom recording, real-time court reporting, wireless internet service, video appearances – the list goes on and on.
In that regard, I will in passing ask you to give favorable attention to our supplemental budget request this session. There are three items in the request, all involving computer technology: first, a joint project with the Wyoming Highway Patrol for electronic citations, which project will lead to electronic filing in the circuit courts along with simultaneous populating of internal highway patrol reports; second, an enhancement to the computer system that controls the information shared between the Supreme Court and the state bar, and third, uniform electronic case management in the district courts.
Ironically, I was unable to attend the presentation of this budget to the joint appropriations committee because I was participating in a national electronic filing seminar. The primary lesson that I learned at that seminar was that, while we may feel like we are leading the pack in technological advances, in truth we are barely keeping up with the rest of the world. The citizens of Wyoming deserve, and will demand, to have their government function like any modern business, and that includes keeping up with technology. Beyond that, we are finally figuring out how efficient electronic communication is in making sure that law enforcement officers have immediate access to court information. For instance, a deputy sheriff in Casper will be able to determine instantaneously whether an alleged Campbell County domestic violence order does or does not exist. So, our rapid technological developments required us to bring a supplemental budget request, rather than waiting another year to continue with all these projects.
Before I leave the topic of technology, I should tell you two additional things. First, the electronic docketing, case management, and filing system you funded for the Supreme Court is completely up and functional. You should visit our website to see what all can be done and what all information is available to the public. Today, the Wyoming Supreme Court is much more accessible and much more visible than it has ever been in the past. During your tour this afternoon, the Clerk of Court and her staff, and our I.T. Staff will be happy to show you how all of it works.
The second thing I want to tell you about court technology has to do with our staff: Steven Dreher, James Bothamley, Frostie Sprout, Sergio Gonzales, John Captron, Doug Schmidt, and Jennifer Petrella. We never had any doubt that their expertise was the primary factor in our technological successes, and we are very happy with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received about them from the trial courts across the state. Our confidence in them was recently reinforced when the vice-president of LTCOURTTECH, the nationally experienced company that installed our electronic case management system, told me that he believed our staff to be the best court technology staff in the country.
Getting out of the technology arena, I will give you a few statistics. I won't bore you with details, but I thought you might want to hear a bit about filing trends. In fiscal year 2007, there were 173,937 cases filed in the circuit courts. Most of those cases were, as usual, traffic citations. That number grew to 175,651 in 2008. In fiscal year 2007, there were 18,514 cases filed in the district courts. That number dropped to 17,444 in 2008. In calendar year 2007, 299 appeals were filed in the Supreme Court. That number dropped to 281 in calendar year 2008. We have not explored the reasons for these minor changes – both up and down – but we do not consider any of them to be of major statistical significance at this point, in the sense of showing a general trend in any particular direction.
What these statistics do show us, when we study them in detail, county by county, and district by district, is that the system is generally in balance; meaning that there is a pretty good correlation between the number of judges needed and the number of judges available. As I have mentioned before, however, there are some areas of concern that we will continue to study to make sure that all of Wyoming's citizens have equal access to the courtroom. Sweetwater County is probably at the top of that list, with a shortage of coverage in both the district court and the circuit court. We are waiting there for some local facilities decisions.
I should also mention that we – the Supreme Court and the Board of Judicial Policy and Administration – strive to make sure that judicial resources in Wyoming remain in balance. We continually monitor caseload statistics and docketing delays to ensure that the judicial process works as well as possible. In the trial courts, this is accomplished mainly in an informal fashion, with judges covering for each other upon a simple phone request to keep the more crowded dockets moving as rapidly as possible. District judges routinely cross over into other districts to handle lengthy jury trials to allow the local judge to catch up on bench trials and motion hearings.
I have been either a judge or a justice now for twenty years. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the district judges' conference and the circuit judges' conference are "policing themselves" if you will, better right now that at any time during that period. Both conferences have regular meetings, arrange for specialized training, discuss common problems, and work toward standard procedures. There was a time when Wyoming trial judges were an "empire unto themselves", those days are over.
While I am discussing the trial courts, I will mention the changes on the bench since last session. Michael Davis replaced Nick Kalokathis as a district judge here in Cheyenne. Bob Skar replaced Gary Hartman as the district judge in Worland. Tom Harrington, in turn, replaced Bob Skar as the circuit judge in Worland. And finally, Marv Tyler was appointed to fill the newly created district court position in Pinedale. We welcome all these new judges to the fold and wish them the best. You may not know that the Governor attends all of the new judge robing ceremonies. The judges, and I believe the public, very much appreciate this effort and the recognition he gives to the importance of these occasions.
There are a few specific activities of the judiciary which I want to tell you.
We continue actively to pursue the concept of court security, through a variety of avenues. First and foremost, we have hired Kevin White, a former legislator most of you probably know, as our court security officer. His primary focus will be building and personal security here at the Supreme Court, but he also will spearhead our statewide court security efforts.
The court security commission also continues to meet regularly, for the purpose of developing a rational approach to courthouse security in the many and varied county courthouses across Wyoming. In June we brought in staff members from the National Center for State Courts to give security seminars for judges, court clerks and security officers. With six separate sessions – two each in Rock Springs, Casper and Cheyenne – we trained over 200 court personnel. Our goal is to develop emergency response plans for all county courthouses, and to implement whatever recommendations are made by the Court Security Commission. This planning will incorporate the concept of "continuation of business" in the event of a disaster. For instance, how will a local district court and circuit court continue operation if a courthouse happens to burn down We do not now have a ready answer to that question.
Finally in regard to security, I want to thank Colonel Powell and the highway patrol capitol security division for their fine cooperation in getting Kevin commissioned and in providing additional security during special court functions. I am sure you will see some of them this afternoon.
In another initiative, our administrative and I.T. staffs worked with the secretary of state's office and the department of motor vehicles to revise the method by which master jury lists, which lists are used in both the district and circuit courts, are created. The master jury lists are a combination of voter registration and driver license lists. The replacement of the software utilized by the secretary of state's office necessitated this change. This inter-branch cooperation was a fine example of how public servants should quickly do what is necessary to solve problems for the benefit of the populace.
Briefly, I will also mention that we are working on a branch-wide policy governing access to court records. Lately, largely due to the proliferation of the computer world and the World-Wide Web, we have received an increasing number of requests for the mass production of records. Literally, requests such as "I want a copy of all your circuit court records." or "All your civil judgment records." We believe that court records presumptively should be open and available to the public, but we need policies recognizing what is and what is not confidential, as well as how and when access may be obtained. As to confidential information, such as social security numbers, financial account numbers, birth dates, addresses, and the like, we have concluded that something we might call "pre-emptive redaction" will be the best approach. In other words, keep that information out of court documents from the beginning rather that later trying to redact it piece by piece.
On another front, about a month ago, the Board of Judicial Policy and Administration asked the Supreme Court to create a commission to deal with the problem of access to justice in Wyoming. The corporation that had been receiving federal funds to provide civil representation to indigents folded, leaving a huge hole in the availability of such services. A temporary fix is in place, but a long-term resolution is needed. That commission may also look into other issues that impact the ability of Wyoming's citizens to get into the courtroom, such as delayed docketing and case management problems.
We also continue to deal with the perennial issue of the extent to which municipal courts can and should be drawn into the state court system. Much of the law enforcement in this state takes place in municipal courts, yet the municipalities are not part of the state system in many ways. We hope in the future to work more closely with mayors, town councils, town attorneys, and chiefs of police to create more cooperation, uniformity and sharing of information. We are, for instance, looking at the possibility of a uniform municipal criminal code, the purpose of which would be to enhance the sharing of data among law enforcement agencies via our judicial branch database.
I should not conclude these remarks without mentioning the two aspects of our work that continue to draw the most attention in the media. Thos two areas are juvenile courts and court-based drug treatment programs. There appears to be a widely held belief that our juvenile courts – are failing adequately to deliver juvenile justice. I believe you will find that, almost universally, the prosecutors and the district judges do not agree with that assessment. They will tell you that the allegation that the right hand – the juvenile courts do not know what the left hand – the circuit and municipal courts – is doing, is simply not true. In addition, they will tell you that the answer to the problem of providing services to juveniles is not re-structuring the juvenile court statutes, but ensuring the availability of services within the community.
As to court-based drug treatment programs, or "drug courts" as some like to call them – I am happy to report that efforts are being made, and those efforts will come before you this session, to compromise the differences between those who favor such programs and those who oppose such programs. The hope is to allow the programs to continue to operate where local interest is sufficient to sustain them, to create uniformity and predictability within the programs through department of health oversight, and narrowly to draw judicial participation so as to ameliorate the constitutional separation of powers concerns that have plagued the existing program.
Well, that about covers it. But you know me better than to think that I am going to just sit down and pass up the opportunity to offer you some advice on how to make this session both productive and painless. For many years, I have been telling law students and young lawyers that, when they deal with a panel of jurors, they need to remember that each of those jurors comes from a different background and has a different perspective on the world. In short, all the jurors hear the same words, but each puts his or he own particular spin on those words.
It occurred to me that the same is true of legislators. When you are talking to one another, trying, say, to garner support for a bill of yours, you need to remember that the person to whom you are speaking is interpreting your remarks through his or her own particular prism. I have found that the best way to demonstrate this phenomenon is by reference to the age-old question of why the chicken crossed the road.
Now, if you ask that question of your fellow legislator, and he or she happens to be a kindergarten teacher, he or she will probably answer, "to get to the other side."
But other legislators will have other perspectives. For instance, Captain James T. Kirk might respond that "the chicken crossed the road to boldly go where no chicken has gone before."
Legislator Richard M. Nixon would tell you that "the chicken did not cross the road."
Legislator Bill Gates will ignore you and start thinking that he could release a new software program called Chicken 2009, which not only will cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
Any legislator over 50 years of age will tell you that in my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. If someone told us the chicken crossed the road, that was good enough for us.
So be careful out there, my friends. Don't make any assumptions about your fellows. Google 'em if you have to, but find out what makes them tick. You'll get everything you want.
Thank you. See you again at 4:30!

(b) A person who wishes to claim an exemption under this section shall file a sworn statement on or before the fourth Monday in May, 2009 on the form provided by the department of revenue and mailed to the applicant by the county assessor with an annual assessment of the property for tax purposes.

(f) The exemption authorized by this section is allowed for taxes assessed and levied during the 2009 calendar year. In adopting this method of exemption of property taxes and providing that no local government shall incur any loss of property tax revenue under subsection (c) of this section, any bond issues or other matters relying upon the assessed value of a local government for computation shall be predicated upon the assessed value of the local government before computation of the tax exemption under this section.
(g) As used in this section:
(i) "Applicant" means:
(A) A person who occupies and owns a homestead either solely or jointly with his spouse;
(B) A person who occupies a homestead as a vendee in possession under a contract of sale;

The legislative service office is authorized and directed to publish the provisions of this act in the manner which most effectively displays the contingincies providing in this section.

23-1-110. State management of gray wolves.
(a) Subject to subsection (b) of this section, this section shall be effective only after the date that gray wolves are removed from the list of experimental nonessential population, endangered species or threatened species in Wyoming, and Wyoming has legal right to exercise full and continuous management authority over gray wolves in the entire state of Wyoming subject only to federal premeption.
(b) On and after March 15, 2010, this act shall not be effective if the United States fish and wildlife service has not:
(i) Published a final rule delisting gray wolves in the manner specified in W.S. 23-1-108 in the entire state of Wyoming dated after March 1, 2009; and
(ii) Either:
(A) Published a final rule after March 1, 2009, modifying existing 10(j) rules, under 50 C.F.R. § 17.84, governing management of wolves as an experimental nonessential population, which provides for management of wolves where predation is causing unacceptable impacts to wild ungulate herds and which addresses wolf-wild ungulate conflicts occurring at state operated feedgrounds; or
(B) Executed an agreement with the state of Wyoming which provides adequate protection for Wyoming’s wild ungulates. The determination of adequate protection shall be made by certification of the governor as provided in subsection (e) of this section, if necessary to determine whether this section is effective. In making the determination of adequate protection the governor shall consult with the Wyoming game and fish commission.
(c) For purposes of this section, a wild ungulate herd may be experiencing unacceptable impacts from wolf predation where the herd has declined below population objectives or is in danger of doing so and:
(i) The wild ungulate herd in question is located within at least a portion of the home range of a documented wolf pack;
(ii) The annual report of wolf population published by the United States fish and wildlife service provides, or the game and fish department has documented, that at least fifteen (15) breeding pairs exist in the designated trophy game area specified in W.S. 23-1-101(a)(xii)(B)(I) and all national parks within the boundaries of Wyoming; and
(iii) The department determines that wolf predation is having an impact on the recruitment rate of the affected wild ungulate herd and the governor certifies that determination as provided in subsection (e) of this section, if necessary to determine whether this section is effective.
(d) For purposes of this section, wolf-wild ungulate conflicts occurring at state operated feedgrounds shall include any situations in which wolves:
(i) Cause wild ungulates to move from those feedgrounds;
(ii) Cause a mixing of livestock and wild ungulates; or
(iii) Cause wild ungulates to pose extraordinary safety hazards on state public roadways.
(e) The governor shall certify to the secretary of state the occurrence of any acts which affect whether this section is effective. The effective date or dates of this section shall be determined upon the date each such certification is made and filed with the secretary of state.".

(a) Upon receipt of a petition signed by at least ten percent (10%) of the qualified electors residing within any county included with the service area district of a community college district, or upon resolution of the board of county commissioners with jurisdiction, the county commissioners shall submit the question of imposing a levy of up to one (1) mill on the dollar of assessed valuation within the county for the regular support and operation of that community college district whose service area district includes that county. The election shall be held on a date authorized under W.S. 22-21-103 and shall be conducted in all respects under procedures prescribed by W.S. 22-21-103 through 22-21-110. The number of electors required for a petition shall be determined by the number of votes cast at the last general election.
(b) The ballot in the election shall be in substantially the following form:
(i) "Shall a levy of (up to one (1)) ... mill be levied on the assessed value of ... County, Wyoming for the general support and operation of community college programs and services provided in ... County, Wyoming by the Community College located at ... Wyoming?"
Up to one (1) Mill Yes □
Up to one (1) Mill No □
(c) The county clerk shall immediately give notice of the results of the election to the county commissioners and if the proposed levy has been authorized by the county electors, the commissioners shall levy the tax in the manner provided by law and the same proposition shall be submitted at each second general election following approval of the levy until the proposition is defeated. If the proposition is not approved by the electors, the proposition shall not again be submitted to the county electors for at least eleven (11) months. If the proposition is defeated at any general election following initial adoption, the tax is repealed effective December 31 of that calendar year in which defeated and the levy shall not be imposed by the county commissioners for the following calendar year.
(d) In addition to subsection (c) of this section, the county treasurer shall provide notice of the election results to the board of trustees of the community college district whose service area district includes the county in which the election was conducted. Upon notification, the community college district board shall by resolution of the board:
(i) If the levy is approved by the county electors, enlarge the community college district board of trustees to include board representation for those electors of any county within its service area district approving a levy under this section. The election subdistrict shall be partitioned by the board such that the entire county of the service area district of that community college district shall constitute one (1) election subdistrict under this paragraph and shall be represented by one (1) board member in addition to the number of board members specified under W.S. 21-18-308(a). The election of the member of the enlarged board of trustees under this paragraph shall be held as determined by the board of county commissioners of jurisdiction, on a date which is not less than sixty (60) days following the date the service area district county mill levy proposition is approved in accordance with this section. Nominations for the additional board member shall be submitted in substantially the same manner as prescribed under W.S. 22-22-201 through 22-22-203 and the election shall otherwise be conducted as provided by law. The term of office of the board member to be elected under this subsection shall begin on the first day immediately following the election and shall be for two (2) or four (4) years as determined by the board as necessary to coincide with the expiration of terms of office as prescribed under W.S. 22-22-102(c). The board shall report to the appropriate county clerk the length of the term of the trustee office to be filled in the election. After the initial election, the term of the additional board member shall be for four (4) years as specified under W.S. 22-22-102(a);
(ii) If the proposition is defeated at any general election following initial adoption, eliminate the election subdistrict for that county within the community college service area district defeating the levy under this section and reconstitute the community college board of trustees to include membership within the boundaries of the community college district specified under W.S. 21-18-308(a) together with enlarged board membership for a remaining county within its service area district maintaining a levy under this section, if any. The term of office of the trustee removed from board membership that was filled prior to the date the proposition is defeated shall expire on December 31 following the year in which the levy is defeated.
(e) Any county service area district tax approved under this section is in addition to any other tax imposed by law and is in addition to any and all taxes imposed under W.S. 21-18-303(b), 21-18-304(a)(vii) and 21-18-311(f) by the community college district whose service area district includes the county approving the tax. The county treasurer shall distribute revenues collected under the levy authorized under this section to the treasurer of the appropriate community college district board of trustees in the same manner as revenues from the levy imposed under W.S. 21-18-304(a)(vii). Revenues distributed pursuant to this subsection shall be included within the district's estimated and reportable revenues for purposes of the biennial funding report of the district under W.S. 21-18-205(b), shall be used for the regular support and operation of programs and services provided by the community college and shall be considered by the commission in distribution of state funds under W.S. 21-18-205(c).".

Monies not so deposited shall be kept in a separate pooled demand account. The total receipts, disbursements and balances shall be reported monthly to the state treasurer, department of administration and information, and state auditor for disclosure in the state financial reports. Upon discharge all money plus accrued interest held on behalf of a patient, resident or inmate, excluding lawful charges, shall be returned to that person or a duly authorized person. If the patient, resident or inmate, or other duly authorized person, cannot be found, or in the event of death of the patient, resident or inmate, the money plus accrued interest, excluding lawful charges, shall after a reasonable effort to find and notify the heirs has failed, be transmitted to the state treasurer to be held or distributed as provided by W.S. 9-5-203.".

Upon violation of a term or condition, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions, the court shall discharge the person and dismiss the proceedings against him. Discharge and dismissal under this section shall be without adjudication of guilt and is not a conviction for purposes of this section or for purposes of disqualifications or disabilities imposed by law upon conviction of a crime, including the additional penalties imposed for second or subsequent convictions under W.S. 35-7-1038. There may be only one (1) discharge and dismissal under this section with respect to any person. This section shall not be construed to provide an exclusive procedure. Any other procedure provided by law relating to suspension of trial or probation, may be followed, in the discretion of the trial court.". ROSS, CHAIRMAN

GOVERNOR DAVE FREUDENTHAL'S 2009 CLOSING REMARKS
60TH GENERAL SESSION
Mr. Speaker and members of the House, I appreciate the opportunity to address you. I particularly appreciate the fact that we are doing it a reasonable hour, one that does not hearken back to the days of many years ago when I worked for Governor Herschler and they used to pull the plug on the clock at about 11:55 and them would proceed to legislate. Then, at some point in the evening, they would plug the clock back in and then they would invite the Governor to come up. I don't know how much progress we have really made in Wyoming, but at least you are getting done at reasonably civilized hour.
I want to thank the members of this body who have from time to time joined me at the deployments of the Wyoming National Guard. I appreciate it, and more importantly, I think the soldiers and their families appreciate it, and I encourage all of you to watch the schedule and attend when you can. We are going to have three very large deployments of Army Guard this year and these individuals are going to be gone for an extended period. I hope that you will watch the schedule and to the extent you can participate in those, you will.
Each of us is being asked, particularly by the press and by our friends and constituents, to somehow characterize this year's legislative session. Because all of us are in public life, we all want to reflect that each of our actions are profound, and there is a tendency perhaps to search, and sometimes in vain, for the grand accomplishments of the day. I think that we need to take a step back and recognize that the job of representative democracy is to perform those tasks that need to be one on behalf of the citizens in the context of the times in which you operate. The times in which we are operating are very different than they were even six months ago, when each of us thought with some grandeur about the hopes and dreams we had for this session. For many of us, those hopes and dreams had to be shelved because it became much more important that we focus on the mechanics of the government and the need to prepare for what is likely to be a difficult next few years. I would characterize this session as one of transition, as we move from a period of immense wealth and immense accomplishment to a period of uncertainty. This will be a period of reduced wealth in which are focus is going to be on how do we do a better job with what we have. In addition, this session took place in the context of the beginning of a very uncertain economy. In case you don't remember, I adjusted my budget twice on changed revenue projections, and by the time this session draws to a close, the price of natural gas is at least a $1.00 or $1.10 lower that the projections that we had. In a very short period, in a historical sense, we have gone from a time when people talked about the scarcity of oil and natural gas with oil selling at $150 a barrel to the press coverage this week that indicates we are awash in oil and awash in natural gas around the world. And honestly, this session has also been shaded a bit by politics, with it being the only general session that predates the 2010 election, so to some degree it is colored by politics and ambition. These are both wonderful things, and without them, none of us would be here, but it is in fact the reality of the context in which this session occurs.
Nonetheless, I think there are some things we can be very proud of. I am pleased that the body chose to continue and to finish out the capital construction agenda, which had been developed over the years. I think that agenda is important and those projects will put people to work around the state. I think that it was great progress largely instigated in this body with regard to carbon capture and sequestration. We continue to be a leader in that area. We also continue to be a leader in clean coal research and have funded the remainder of our obligation to the GE partnership this year. It's important that we consider our actions today with one eye toward the future that is going to be different with regard to carbon management. I am also delighted that we finally settled the court-ordered treatment question. For those of you who are much older than I and were in the body in the fist session when I arrived here, I talked about it. I talked about it in the second session, I talked about it in the third session and on and on. With luck, next year when I talk to you, you will not have to hear about drug courts or court-ordered treatment because we put it to bed this year. I also believe that the ignition lock bill is good one. On Workers Compensation, we made significant progress. I am also pleased with the number of education bills that have moved us in the direction of beginning to ask, and ask seriously, what is it that is being accomplished with the significant education expenditures we make? The answers will not come tomorrow, they may not even come next year, but we need to begin that process and start asking those questions.
Since we are all here and we are all going to be asked to explain what it is we have done this session, I want to give you a short course on the art of political spin, one that most of you don't need, but a humble public servant like me needs the help. This is drawn from the life of Senator Harry Reid, who as you know is the Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate. He has an uncle who had a notorious past in Montana. The history as recorded on the back of a photograph of the hanging shows that Remus Reid, horse thief, was sent to Montana Territorial Prison in 1885. He escaped in 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times, was caught by Pinkerton Detectives and was convicted and hanged in 1889. If you contact Senator Reid's staff, they will send back the following description of his uncle: "Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisitions of valuable equestrian assets, and intimate dealings with the Montana Railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform on which he was standing collapsed." Now if you can match that, you can probably make this legislative session look like the equivalent to the signing of the Magna Carta.
I want to take a minute about what we all know is coming in the next few years. You know today, natural gas at OPAL is $2.70, a year ago it was $8.62. We are confronted with a tax base that is roughly one third of what it was in past years. I've heard the argument that we don't need to worry about it, because much of the gas in Wyoming is under contract. That is true about 80 percent. But, those contracts are indexed and are calculated to these same national indexes with regard to the value of gas and we are going to see this work its way through the system. Remember that the effect of that is going to be felt most immediately by the agencies that are being funded out of current revenues, including the state agencies, community colleges and the university. The last entity to feel this is going to be the K-12 school system. Because of the way our system works, while the rest of us are putting budgets together based on a $2.70 value because the tax base lags with regard to school funding, the schools are still operating off of the funding mechanism for the School Foundation Program which is using the $8.62 value because property taxes lag behind the payment of severance taxes. So, the first place you are going to see this is in the operating budgets for the general agencies, the university and the community colleges.
My suggestion that agencies begin to contemplate how they would manage a five or ten percent cut has not be greeted with applause and to some degree has garnered a fair amount of criticism. So suddenly, these have become the Governor's budget cuts. Notwithstanding that, I appreciate the fact that the Legislature is willing to give the Executive Branch agencies, the educational institutions, and the university the opportunity to try to manage these reductions, as opposed to doing an across-the-board cut. Clearly, if we fail, we will find ourselves doing across-the-board cuts through the Budget Office and through the Appropriations Committee.
I raise the issue because it is important that when each of you goes home, you carry the message that this is not a case where individual interests or individual agencies or individual colleges or the university are somehow being singled out. The entire state government and all of the things that it supports are being affected by exactly the same economic circumstances that are affecting the nation. We are awash in energy, prices have dropped, the economy is slim, and people are re-examining their budgets. We need to do the same. It is going to be important, because each of you will be approached by the interests in your community who will say, "We're too special. We shouldn't have to endure a cut and shouldn't have to confront budget deductions." It is a practicality that everyone in the state is going to have to tighten their belts, and every entity that relies upon state funding is going to have to tighten its belt, and we are going to need your support to do that. I understand that periodically you are going to get a lot of pressure at home and you're going to have to say you called the Governor and told me that this particular group shouldn't be cut because it is special. I hope that you understand that when I say, "No that is not the way this going to work," it's not personal, it's practical. We are moving into a very different time, but it is also a time in which if we are careful, we can continue to make the kind of investments we need to make in our infrastructure, our children and in our future.
The national stimulus bill is also addressed in this budget, and I appreciate the latitude that you have provided us so that we can sort through those programs which make sense. We'll take that funding, just as we did the highway funding, and those things that don't fit with our agenda, we'll simply allow those funds to go to another state. I believe the stimulus package is good, and I know all of you don't agree with that, but I think it is something that is necessary. I am glad to take advantage of those things which fit our agenda. The things that don't fit with the Wyoming agenda or have too many strings attached, we will simply allow that money to go to another state. That is going to range all the way from highway money to trying to secure funding for the construction of transmission lines on behalf of private parities out of this state. I think we should take advantage of that, and we intend to do that, but we intend to do that with an eye toward making sure that we don't have a lot of continuing obligations.
Come June, we will get the new revised estimates from the CREG group. We'll make the preliminary adjustments that need to be made on the budget. As I say, most of that will be outside of the K-12 system, but again, given the dramatic change in numbers, I am not prepared to say that with 100 percent accuracy. I believe we are up to this task. It is a difficult task, and clearly we are going to have disagreements. I fundamentally disagree with this body with regard to its ultimate determination on both funding for the SCHIP program and with regard to the Healthcare Pilot Program. We are going to have those disagreements, and we will probably continue to have them because these issues will come back.
I either failed to persuade you properly or maybe you are not persuadable, but at its core, these disagreements cannot separate us from the fundamental reality that we are the leaders charged with managing the state and state funds as we go through a remarkably different period that most of the people in this body have lived through in terms of governmental revenues. That means you are going to have to be, frankly, fairly strong at home when you are approached and will have to be realistic about it. We are going to share all of the information that we have with you, but you need to understand that at the end of the day, I don't intend to print money and I don't intend to borrow money. I will live within the revenues that we have, and they will also be the determinant of the kind of cuts that we have to do. But, we can do it. I don't have any doubt.
I am reminded of a speech I heard the other day in D.C. where the speaker spoke with some eloquence about a British general of more than 100 years ago, when confronted with great dilemmas and great problems in the midst of a war, turned to his troops and said, "Gentlemen, we have run out of money, now we must learn to think." Thank you very much, God bless you, and have a great trip home.
Speaker Simpson thanked Governor Freudenthal for his closing remarks to the House and asked Representative Quarberg and Representative Millin to please escort His Excellency, the Governor, from the House Chamber.
Majority Floor Leader Buchanan moved the following:

That if the Senate fails to concur in the action of the House of Representatives under paragraphs 1 through 3 of this motion, by adopting an identical motion applicable to the Senate, the House of Representatives of the 60th Wyoming State Legislature, General Session, shall stand adjourned sine die.
