THE STATE OF THE STATE OF WYOMING
GOVERNOR DAVID FREUDENTHAL
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE 59TH WYOMING STATE LEGISLATURE
AND THE PEOPLE OF WYOMING
FEBRUARY 11, 2008
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, members of the 59th Legislature, thank you for this opportunity to appear here today. I convey my greetings and those of my bride who is not with me today. She is attending a First Lady's Conference in Washington D.C., with regard to the program to keep young people free of alcohol.
I will tell you that she did not begin this effort on an auspicious note. As she left for D.C. yesterday, I suggested to her that she was going to miss my speech. whereupon she opined that she had heard about all she needed to hear from me, a sentiment that some of you may share, but I appreciate the courtesy of your being here.
I am not without familial support. I am joined today by my daughter Katie who is a, unfortunately a student at Colorado State University, a university that, I might say, in not nearly as generously supported by its legislature as you support our university.
I would like to recognize some folks who are with us today. We have with us, on my upper right, military department head and Wyoming Adjutant General Major General Ed Wright. He is joined by the Director of the Veterans Commission, retired Colonel Larry Barttlebort.
If you would hold your applause for just a moment, I want to talk about Captain Nissen. She is here today. She is the commander of the 10-41st Engineering Company. There were 169 Wyoming soldiers from 41 Wyoming communities. They performed convoy security and over 700 missions in Tikrit, Iraq, and they performed last October. We received word yesterday that they have been nominated for and will receive the Meritorious Unit Citation. It has been approved by all military commanders in the field, including General Pettraeus. This is an award which should not be taken lightly. It means that this unit performed significantly above the level of other similar units in similar missions. Individuals within this unit earned numerous awards, including at least 36 Bronze Stars and 36 Purple Hearts.
Without starting an historical battle in Wyoming, it is my understanding that they are very close to becoming the most decorated unit in Wyoming National Guard history since the 2/300th Artillery served in Korea. Captain, please rise and accept acknowledgment.
We are also joined by members of the Shoshone Business Council. The Arapahoe Business Council planned to be here, but thanks to traffic and some accidents, none of which involved the Council, they are unable to be here today. But our friends, the Shoshone Business Council, are represented here today by our friend, Mr. Floyd Phillips.
As you know, we gather here today with some change in our membership. Part of that necessitated by passage of Senator Bob Peck and by Senator Craig Thomas who was a former member of this body. We will miss them. We also miss Representative Tom Walsh who resigned due to his illness, and he was a great friend of the military and a great friend of Wyoming and we wish him well. Representative Liz Gentile resigned due to a career change.
On a positive note, we welcome new members Representatives Tim Stubson and Mary Hales and Senators Bill Landen and my good friend Eli Bebout. Welcome.
I would encourage the new members not to confuse their warmth of reception for the fact that they're going to vote with you, but my experience is that the reception is always pretty warm, but the votes are a little thin and hard to get.
We arrive here today at a remarkable time in the state's history. Those of you who recall the election of 1986, we had a gubernatorial candidate withdraw from the race, announcing that he had no intention of being the governor of Wyoming and preside over economic wasteland. In 2002 the trick question in every campaign forum was which tax are you going to increase, to build schools and to build a new prison?
My, how times have changed. We arrive here midway through a remarkable period of abundance in Wyoming. The gross state product has doubled in the last ten years. Our unemployment rate remains remarkably low, and in fact, we confront a workers shortage.
The sub prime mortgage crisis, at least according to a recent publication from the Kansas Federal Reserve, has by and large passed over Wyoming. In fact, they refer to the fact that Wyoming's remarkably low foreclosure rate brings down the average for the entire region.
The projected general fund and budget reserve account balances for the first fiscal year -- projected for fiscal year 2009 are actually double the revenues that were available in 2003. We have a budget document originally recommended by the executive branch, adopted by the Appropriations Committee which will be presented to you which under most any definition is a generous and abundant budget. Not everyone agrees with that and I'm sure that you're hearing from them.
I want to commend the Joint Appropriations Committee, and particularly the chairman. They listened for many weeks to the same presentations that I had heard for months. They heard the same information. They looked at the analysis of the budgets, and, to some degree, the pleas for funding were more refined when they arrived at the Appropriations Committee. Once I had rejected them, they went back and created new arguments on their behalf, the behalf of the agency and on behalf of the interest group.
While there are some differences between the budget that I recommended and the budget adopted by the committee, it is, by and large, differences that reflect changes of degrees on the points of the compass and not vast changes in direction for the state. And that is as it should be, not because -- I know everybody is sensitive about who gets credit for stuff so I want to make clear at the outset -- it is not that the budget from the executive branch was not necessarily brilliant, although it was.
The fact of the matter is that the budget essentially follows the contours of our state, it follows the contours of our economy, it follows the contours of our people and it follows the contours of the available revenues. It reflects the commitment to continue many of the programs that have been adopted by this body and signed by me in the last few years, but it does not expand and create a great deal of new programs. It is fundamentally a budget that recognizes and continues the wisdom of past decisions.
However, we continue to hear the discussion about budget cuts and the draconian reductions that were made. I would caution you that there is not a single budget that has been cut. What does exist is that there are a number of requests that were not granted in full. No one got a hundred percent of what they wanted. For them, that's a cut. From my point of view, it is still a pretty generous budget.
However, I suspect that you have some of the same conversations I do. The citizens who come in with interest groups. First of all, they decry the size of the state budget, talk about spending, and then that's the initiation of the conversation. The closing part of the conversation is, "But we need money for this other program," or, "We need this one added to," or, "We need it funded."
I believe we have to resist those temptations. Although we are all in politics, and I understand that it is a difficult business, we have to recognize that while the talisman of politics may be not what have you done for me, but what have you done for me lately, what we need to recognize is we have done a great deal on the expenditure side for this state over the last few years and I believe it is appropriate. We have more than enough funding to build upon what we have done in the past. We lack the funding and we lack a real purpose in expanding on it a great deal.
We have done remarkable things with the abundance that this state has enjoyed. We have for the first time probably in 20 years been able to increase the savings rate on behalf of the citizens of the state. We increased the savings rate to 40 cents of every severance tax dollar that arrives in Wyoming goes into the current mineral trust fund, a rate the state has not seen for, I would certainly say, for 20 years, a rate which we can be proud of. Because of the growth in the economy, we have made much greater investments in roads, cities and towns and in the infrastructure of the state.
When it comes to education, no state can match Wyoming's dedication and funding for education. Whether it is K through 12, the community colleges or the university, we have much to be proud of and much to be confident in terms of the future.
We have also adopted an ethic of stewardship and that stewardship finds its voice in the investments in the environmental protection area and in the enhancement and preservation of the wildlife habitat.
And, while we've had our disagreements with regard to human services, I think in sum it is safe to say that we have had a practical compassion which has caused us to significantly increase and to guide our investments in the human services area.
We are at a different point today. We are at a point where the abundance we enjoy requires discipline. We have to exercise a discipline which in the past we did not feel obligated to do. We spent the past years addressing the deficit of several decades of no funding. We have built buildings. We want schools. We built the university. We have added money to roads. We are at a stage now where we need to continue those efforts, but we need to have discipline about how we proceed. We need to have the discipline to recognize that even with this abundance we cannot and should not fund every request that comes before us.
We have to have the discipline -- and this one I pray that you will hear -- we have to have the discipline to reduce the increases in the standard budget. When you go to add things to the budget, please do it on the basis that it is not a continuing appropriation. Give us a chance to review next year whether it was the right thing to put in the budget. There are things that need to be done. I'm sure there are things that we left out. But if you stick it in the standard budget, it becomes the baseline, not only for this governor, but for every governor to come forward.
We also have to have a discipline in our expenditures to respect that the marketplace for energy is changing. We must have the discipline to recognize that new technologies and new efforts must be promoted by the state.
We also must have the discipline to recognize that we need to increase the efficiency with which we use energy. The cost of energy is going to go up and will continue to rise. There will be some ups and downs, but the cost of energy is going to go up. We as government elected officials pay the cost. Just as people talk about their home heating bills going up, so do the state's and so do the local government's, and we need to become cognizant that the best way to control those operating expenses going forward is to become more efficient about the use of energy.
We also have to have the discipline to respect and facilitate the work of local governments, including cities, towns, counties and special districts. We often focus only upon that which the state does, but one of the largest functions of the state, and particularly the legislature, is the transfer of wealth from the state coffers to the local governments and there for them to utilize to perform the basic services of the state. And lastly, we have to have the discipline to take seriously our stewardship obligation to this earth, and more particularly to Wyoming.
I want to talk first about energy demand. As all of you know, the demand for energy and the change in prices has been a generous benefactor to this state. While we all know that energy demand in the United States and worldwide will continue to rise, it is not without its clouds. On a BTU basis alone, the state of Wyoming contributes 10 percent of all of the energy consumed in the United States. Ten percent. If you focus solely on domestic energy sources, Wyoming accounts for 15 percent of the energy consumed in this country. A bright future in a country that is destined to increase its energy utilization.
But it is not without some problems. If this current recession were to deepen, you would find a softening of the energy prices and you would have a down-dip. I would advise us to stay within the context of the rather conservative estimates that the CREG Group has generated with regard to revenue.
If you look at each of our resources in Wyoming, whether it is wind, uranium, oil, gas, coal, each of those faces some particular challenges going forward.
For instance, with wind, a resource we're all very acutely familiar with this year, particularly anybody who comes down I-80, we understand that Wyoming has among the most remarkable wind resources in the entire United States. When you look at maps we've created with regard to wind resources, Wyoming has about seven areas that are just remarkable. There is a great deal of interest in the development of that wind resource. Unfortunately, for us to do that, we have to continue our efforts to make sure the transmission lines get built. I encourage you to continue to support the efforts of the Infrastructure Authority.
I know that our office spends an immense amount of time working on various federal land plans to try to make sure that there are some corridors remaining for us to ship this energy out. It is not unreasonable to think of Wyoming as generating 6 or 8,000 megawatts of electricity from wind resources. Easy goal for us to reach. However, we have to get the transmission lines built.
And coal, as most of you know, faces a series of transitions over the next couple decades. The most difficult of those is adapting to a carbon-constrained environment. Last month in his State of the Union, the President committed this nation to strengthening energy security and confronting global climate change. This policy has significant implications for energy states such as Wyoming, and particularly those states that produce coal. Many of the states around us and throughout the United States have developed their own carbon constraints with regard to the energy marketplace, constraints which imply and set a bar as to the kind of energy they're going to accept, particularly coal-fired electricity. But perhaps most important is the fact that the financial markets, most recently three of the largest financial institutions in the country, have restricted their willingness to fund and to underwrite the construction of coal-fired electric generating facilities unless those facilities have accounted for the costs associated with carbon capture and carbon management.
And when you figure that the boys with the money set the rules, they have now set the rules. And those rules include a vigorous attention to carbon capture and carbon sequestration. And so there are actions in front of you that are perhaps among the most important the Wyoming legislature has confronted in many decades.
First off, I would encourage you to favorably consider two bills being offered by the Judiciary Committee with regard to carbon capture and carbon sequestration. These are bills that the committee has worked very hard on. I'm very proud of the work that they have done and I believe it will place Wyoming in the vanguard of carbon management. And it is appropriate that we be there. We are a state who is an immense producer of fossil fuels. We should also be a leader in the management of carbon and carbon sequestration. The measures are not without controversy, but I would urge their favorable adoption. The committee worked very hard, and I believe that given rise to legislation which is sufficiently narrow, that it should be passed.
Secondly, we are asking for a significant contribution out of the Abandoned Mine Land money account. After taking 30 million off the top to continue our ongoing reclamation efforts, we are asking that the remainder of it be allocated to carbon capture, carbon sequestration efforts, development of clean coal and advancement of the School of Energy Resources.
Most prominent among those is an agreement which we have -- tentative agreement which we have struck with General Electric which is for them to be a partner with the University of Wyoming and with the State of Wyoming in the development of coal conversion technologies and in the development of carbon capture and in the development of sequestration. These are significant efforts and ones that I hope you will support.
It is a remarkable opportunity for Wyoming and its university to be able to partner with one of the largest if not the largest company in the world working on coal gasification, coal conversion and coal technologies. It is going to be interesting if we can put this together. The question is going to be whether we can develop the leadership at the university to be a good partner with General Electric in the evolution of this effort. I hope that you will look on the $20 million request for what it is, which is it is a down payment on the future of this state and a down payment on the future of the coal industry in Wyoming.
As we go forward, you will see an effort within that context of the Abandoned Mine Lands money by other people to attract it to many other worthy purposes in the state. There are lots of other great things that didn't get funded. I didn't fund them, the Appropriations Committee didn't fund them. And people will come and say, as they always do, as they say to me and they say to you, "You've got all that AML money. All I want is a couple million. You've got all that AML money. All I want is 10 million."
I would encourage you to have the discipline to say, "No, we're going to focus this on the state's future and the state's future as it relates to the coal industry."
For two reasons: One is, the tax money originates with the coal industry. It was paid by them. It was tax that was adopted by them. And secondly, it is necessary that this state, given the absence of interest on the part of the federal government, work very hard to make sure that our coal is part of the energy mix of this country going forward. Right now half of the coal -- half the electricity in this country is generated out of coal generation. For that to remain, we have to work hard to make sure that our coal is suitable for gasification.
Two reasons it is important. One is that all of the coal is going to sooner or later in this country going to be gasified before it is converted to electricity. When you gasify coal, we lose our low-sulfur advantage because what happens is all of the sulfur, no matter what kind of coal it is, gets pulled out in a separate stream. We lose the low-sulfur advantage that accounts for much of our product and much of our product share in today's market. It is an important effort and one that I hope you will support.
I would also ask that you reconsider a decision, I think maybe by inadvertence, if I understand it right, on the part of the Appropriations Committee not to authorize the State Loan and Investment Board to use a portion of its funds to encourage energy conservation on the part of the communities.
What I would like is the capacity for the SLIB, State Loan and Investment Board, to use a portion of the money you've allocated -- we don't need any new money -- portion of the money we've allocated as matching funds to encourage local governments to pursue and encourage energy efficiency.
The State Loan and Investment Board and the School Facilities Commission, we have all adopted policies with regard to future construction with an eye towards energy efficiency and trying to make sure that we use our money wisely. I would like the same opportunity through the SLIB grant to encourage them to do the same.
I have just a few other small things that I would like to take exception with Mr. Chairman and Mr. Chairman's appropriations bill, if you would indulge me. I am not asking to take out any of the money for agriculture, Frank. We received a pretty substantial request from a number of people, particularly the Health Department, for a pretty substantial expansion in the emergency healthcare service network. When I looked at it, what I really concluded is we need to study it. I mean, it is an incredibly serious problem in terms of having particularly emergency services available out on the roads and in the workplace.
Unfortunately, what we don't have is a sort of a construct that will guide our funding over the next few years. I believe that in the future we're going to spend quite a bit of money trying to maintain the first responder emergency services network in the state, so I did not authorize that appropriation or recommend it. What I did ask for was $300,000 for the Health Department to map out for us what we're going to be doing over the next -- I would guess we will be at this for five to seven years trying to figure out how to make it work. I still believe that's the best course, that we should look at taking a hard look at how we're going to fund it over the years instead of sort of jumping in and saying let's fund part of it now. And I would ask that you return that $300,000 to the budget.
There are a couple of initiatives outside the budget that I would like to talk to you about. One is the healthcare insurance pilot project. This proposal which originates with a member of the Senate is the first of these proposals that I've seen that I'm prepared to support and this is a proposal for a pilot project to help deal with the underlying costs and improve the lives of Wyoming's working families. It is not intended as an expansion of coverage. What it constitutes is a public-private partnership among state government, working families and employers to restructure the current insurance model.
Secondly, it is our intent through this process not to limit what people can charge for high-cost procedures, but to limit the utilization of those procedures by having individuals take greater responsibility for their own health and their own healthcare. It has an emphasis on personal responsibility and wellness and an emphasis on the prevention utilization. It also is intended to create a better informed healthcare purchasing decision matrix for people involved in the program.
What we hope is that instead of embarking on, as other states have done, a sort of broad universal coverage program which ultimately ends up, if not bankrupt, very close to bankrupt, that we would begin with a pilot project which focuses on taking people, informing them about proper health choices, encouraging those choices, and then rewarding those choices by allowing them to participate in a catastrophic insurance program. But it requires all of the elements.
It is not asking for new funding. We expect that we can reach 500 people on a pilot basis with the $1.29 million that was previously set aside to do adults under the Kid Care program. This is an effort which is intended to reach part of the same target population, but to reach them in a way that is much more consistent with what we found in Wyoming, which is we really need to emphasize wellness, prevention, people taking care of their own health. And in that context I would urge you to consider it.
I also want to thank the Wyoming Healthcare Commission for all of the work that they have done. As you know, in this budget I have allowed them to sunset in 2009, which is consistent with their statutory obligation. That commission deserves considerable credit, if not only for the things that they have encouraged us to do, but for the mistakes they kept us from making. By virtue of much of the work they have done, we have avoided some of the grander schemes which I think have afflicted policy making in other states. They have also done a series of efforts that have been useful to us in terms of incremental efforts with regard to expanded care and particularly with regard to the healthcare professional database.
I would ask, though, that when you look at that budget, hear them out. Their concern is that we ended up just cutting the budget in half. Apparently they wanted some of the 900 Series money to try to do some studies in the first year. I would encourage you to try to look at that effort.
Secretary of State, as you know, is embroiled in a controversy with regard to some legislation he's proposing to deal with what has become generally recognized as a fraud-friendly business environment in Wyoming. These bills are bills that I supported and supported them early on largely because of my experience as U.S. Attorney in which I became, frankly, more aware of how lax those statutes were than I had been before and thought that they were sort of innocuous measures that they would go through without any trouble, and recently there's this huge lobbying effort to undermine these bills.
I hope that you will take a look. The Secretary of State is on the right track. He has, I think, drawn the clear distinction between being fraud friendly and business friendly. For instance, we do not want to continue a circumstance that we have today which is that Wyoming law allows for the creation of shell companies that require no presence other than a mailbox.
There was a study done by the Department of Justice called U.S. Money Laundering Threat Assessment in 2005, largely spearheaded by the FBI and the Homeland Security. What they said is that Wyoming, our laws, offered minimal information requirements similar to offshore financial centers. Not exactly the proudest moment for our state.
There are a couple of bills out there offered by the Corporations Committee. The Senate File would require a business to maintain an office at a Wyoming street address. All we're trying to do is put a face behind who these companies are. It would also require that the business have a registered agent who is a Wyoming resident. It does not require that there be a big fee. Does not require that we end up with a huge expense that you're being lobbied about. Take a look at these bills. All we're saying is if you're going to use Wyoming's grant of corporate or other charter through the Secretary of State, that you will do it based on full disclosure.
My belief is if you don't have anything to hide, then this is a good place to do business. If you've got something to hide, well, then we would rather you didn't do business in Wyoming. I would also ask you to consider the subdivision bill, Senate File 11. I can tell that you're getting nervous when we get to that one. As you know, this is a pretty controversial bill. What the bill does is encourage or allow on a county option, counties to regulate development on parcels up to 140 acres. We have been lobbied both ways about this.
I'll tell you where I end up, which is that the counties should have the option to go above the 35 acres and if they need to or want to, go to the regulation of 140 acres. And I say this because I have watched over the years that, as time has gone on, people have shifted the cost of their decision to purchase a rural lot away from themselves and onto the public till.
What we have done through the State Loan and Investment Board and through the Wyoming Water Development Commission is that we have subsidized people's choices. And I think in a free market, which ideally we have -- in a free market, we should all bear the consequences of the choices we make, particularly the financial consequences. And as you know, here's how it works. We go out, we set up some rural housing without adequate planning for water or roads or anything else. It gets put in place.
Next thing you know, the water table goes down or there never was any water to start with. They come to the Wyoming Water Development Commission for a grant for 50 percent of the program, having established a water district. When they finish with the Wyoming Water Development Commission, they come over to the State Loan and Investment Board for the other half. And we have, in effect, underwritten the cost of the decision made by somebody else.
The cost of the decision that is borne, not by the individual, but by the public sector. Same is true when you form a fire district and then they come to the SLIB, State Loan and Investment Board, and then they want a fire truck. And if that doesn't sort of finish it out, then they go to the county and say, "We want a road," or, "We want the county to maintain the road." Of all of the expenditure I've talked about, where do they ultimately end up? They end up right here before this body in a request either from the SLIB or from the local governments for more funding.
This is not a case of our extending or violating people's property rights, it is a case of our saying simply that you should be responsible for the true cost of the utilization of the property rights that you hold. We're not saying that you can't do it. We're saying that if you do do it, you can't offload those costs onto the public.
Another bill which I will tell you I support but I'm not convinced is essential for Wyoming citizens but it is essential to keep folks from moving in, and that's the dog-fighting bill for animal cruelty. It isn't a problem in Wyoming. It hasn't been a problem in Wyoming, but we're now being held up all over the country as a safe haven for people who want to do dog fighting.
It is a reprehensible activity, not one that is supported in this state. But we run the risk if you don't make it a felony, which I think we should, you run the risk of people say, "You can't do it in 49 other states, but there's one place you can do it, then let's move to Wyoming." Let's put a sign that says in Wyoming it is a felony, that activity isn't welcome here so you don't need to bother to moving to Wyoming to do it.
Natural gas valuation, we have been up and down here. I've vetoed a couple bills. You guys have passed some. I think we have finally arrived at a bill that I'm prepared to endorse. The committee will offer a natural gas valuation bill which I believe reflects the proper compromise among the interests, not a bill that -- it has all the characteristics of a bill that ought to pass. None of us particularly like it. It sort of reflects that it is probably the right compromise, and we should pass it and we should get it done.
Helium taxation remains an issue of concern to me, and I know that the two chairmen of the Revenue Committee will offer a bill that will address the helium taxation question that was left open -- or opened by the recent Wyoming Supreme Court decision. As we watched it unfold previously in front of the committee, the bill draft invited criticism that it affected more than just helium. The revised draft is very narrow. You can read it from the outset. It is only about helium and it is only about helium as it relates to severance tax, not to property tax but to severance tax. Good, clean bill intended to address an issue that was opened up by the Supreme Court which, if you ask them, was opened up by the way we drafted the bill. But we won't go into that right now. I hope that you will take a look at it.
There's also a bill from the Coalbed Methane Task Force that's worked for two years that strengthens the state engineer's capacity to manage CBM water. Good bill, one that ought to be considered. I would ask that you remove some amendments that were put on in the committee when it came out, a particular amendment which I believe restricts the discretion of the state engineer and reaches beyond anything intended by the members of the task force. The bill is intended to enable the state engineer to do a better job of managing. As it reads now with some of the amendments, it arguably reduces the state engineer's capacity. So I would like to see the bill, but I would like to see the bill without the amendatory language. And the bill I'm referring to is Senate File 46.
Property tax relief. There are several bills out there. We've discussed this year in and year out. And I will simply say this: I believe that this state has sufficient funding for us to embark on a program to allow the elderly of our state to remain in their home. I'm not supporting a broad-based tax relief, and I've been criticized for that. But I'm very focused about what it is I want to accomplish. People who I think deserve some attention in this state are the elderly who say to me, "All I want to do is to be able to remain in my home for as long as I can." That's a particular set of people for whom I think the compassion of this state should be directed.
The proposal that I offered includes amending the constitution. I appreciate the fact that the Management Council authorized some additional hearings on the part of the Revenue Committee to consider that. I believe that for those of you like me who have been around this issue forever, when we talk about doing property tax relief we always end up saying we would like to do that but it is not constitutional. The quickest way to solve that problem is to put it in the constitution. Give it constitutional sanction and you can proceed to act to address the needs of these folks.
I'm troubled by our continuing focus on we have to means-test it. Clearly by not means testing it some people are going to take advantage of who may or may not in the eyes of individual people be worthy of it or merit it. But here's the problem -- and we know this from our experience with the current property tax relief schemes. We know this from our experience with getting people to apply for the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, and that is people in Wyoming, particularly at that point in their lives, they have their home, they have their memory and they have their pride and it does not include going down to the courthouse and telling somebody how much they make.
It doesn't include sort of the invasion of privacy that goes with that. And I would ask you that as you think about these programs, think about the fact that we are trying to help a particular set of folks in this state. We're not trying to do across-the-board tax relief. I lose on that every time because you say it costs too much. So okay, let's do a narrow one and let's focus it on the people who are most worthy, but let's do it in a way that they will take advantage of.
This last scheme we hatched and passed in here, it resulted in $144,000 of tax relief to all of the citizens in the state of Wyoming, and the biggest impediment is the requirement that they come in and talk to us about their income. I know not what it is you will do. I know that I will continue to talk about this. But it is up to you guys what you finally decide in the context of this body.
I also commend to you the Education Committee's House Bill 17 regarding the Community College Commission's powers. The Commission has taken the position that it needs additional legislation to give it the ability to audit, develop uniform method of tracking dollars and students. I hope that you will give them that authority. It is not unlike what we currently do with regard to the schools.
I believe that the Governor's Commission on Community Colleges undertook a significant effort the benefits of which we will see going forward for many years. They opened the conversation about what is the role of community colleges going forward. However, I do not support all of their recommendations. First, I do not support the $15 million of added funds to the community colleges for their operating budget. The formula that has been devised has not been adopted. The formula that supports that $15 million has not been reviewed by that body and the formula is one that is controversial even within the colleges.
I also cannot support the request for $15 million in a fund for the community colleges to use for work force training, in part because I cannot develop or ascertain a definition of how it would be spent. It falls into the category of there's $15 million that we think we could spend. We would like you to appropriate it. We will create a committee and it will be spent. I believe that both of those proposals merit consideration by the Education Committee during the intervening year -- in the intervening year between now and the general session and that they could be appropriated for revisitation at that time.
I support a bill that's offered by a representative to allow the state to loan to the community colleges 50 percent of the funding for its capital construction. They raise half; the state would loan them half. A pattern that we have adopted with regard to joint powers boards and a number of other entities. It simply needs to be expanded to include the colleges. I would do that with this caveat: to the extent that those funds are used for dormitory construction, we should explicitly say that those dormitories will not be included in the major maintenance funding from the state. Those are revenue-generating facilities and they should be able to operate on their own.
I'm entirely comfortable with the numbers that the Appropriations Committee has developed in aggregate with regard to local government funding. It is less than what I recommended. But compared to the way you've slashed that budget in previous years, I'm just relieved, to tell you the truth. I think the controversial part for you and for me and others is going to be the division of those funds. I think that the basic theory that they have adopted with regard to direct allocation, community consensus, as well as some reserve for the State Loan and Investment Board is sound. I continue to get lobbied about whether the data should be the 2000 census or the 2007 census. I've discovered that all I have to do is ask "which one gets your community more money?" and then I know which data they prefer.
But what I would ask is that this is a big step for us in Wyoming in that we have developed a rational formula. You can argue about the details, but we have in place the basic construct. And we have that data available to you at the beginning of the session, not at the end. We have the opportunity to begin to move in the directions being set by the select committee and local government finance. I would encourage you to at least take seriously the need for a formula and the need for a rational formula that I think will be useful going forward.
I am perplexed by this argument about whether or not we should make whole the communities for the funding that was lost with regard to the food tax. When we repealed the sales tax on food, a number of communities were diminished in terms of their sales tax revenues. In aggregate we had increased the amount of money going out to the communities in excess of the money that they lost.
But here's where it gets difficult, is that because of the way the formula works, if you were a community whose largest taxpayer was a grocery store or some kind of a food vending outlet covered by that repeal, you lost a greater amount of money than was compensated back to you by the traditional formula. I think the answer to that is to take the formula which was developed by the revenue department, allocate a portion of the sales tax revenues that you're sending back, allocate a portion of that based on the food tax distribution scheme rather than upon the traditional allocation formula. Doesn't change the amount of money that you are allocating, but it does change the equity and the maintenance of the promise that I think we made to those communities that we would keep them whole.
A budget item that I would like you to consider putting some money back in, and I've spoken with the chair of the Appropriations Committee, and that is the travel and tourism budget. Initially we had a request in there in the capital construction for a welcome center on I-25. As most of you know, the welcome center on I-25 is essentially on the wrong side of the road and at an intersection that nobody can access so we're trying to establish a new entry point.
The Appropriations Committee rejected that. A salutary effect of their rejecting was that we no longer -- was that the folk who own the land have said that they will donate the land to us rather than have us buy it. With that salutary effect in place, I'm reluctant to say that the committee probably did something right. That's something I won't say very often. But the fact is we now have a very different circumstance. For $3.4 million, without addressing the building question, we can go ahead and build the interchange -- the interchange is going to be built anyway -- build an interchange with an eye towards accommodating a welcome center at some point in the state's future.
What that means is go and bid it all at once, we can save some money. It costs about $3.4 million additional funds to either the Highway Department or Travel and Tourism in order to make sure that we get that funded, the idea being, we don't have to decide about the building, but we're going to eventually build one there. We should go and at the same time we do the interchange, we should use that money in the most cost-efficient way to prepare the interchange for the building so you don't end up coming back in a few years, tearing up the pavement, rerunning utilities and starting the process over. So I would encourage you to look at that.
You know, the problem in a year like this is that we have done a lot over the last few years. What we need to do is to stick with our task. Our task is to keep building on what we have done. Everybody, because we're -- I mean, we're in politics. You've got political parties and individuals who are saying, "No, you've got to be looking for something new. You have got to have the newer mousetrap. You've got to have the newer thing. You have to expand the program. You have to have something with your name on it. Has to be a House bill. Has to be a Senate bill. Can't do what the Governor suggests. You can't let that happen."
Bottom line is all of those things are an evil and a kind of demon that keeps us from doing what is right. The greatest discipline we need in Wyoming, when we have the abundance that we have, is the discipline to focus on doing what is right, the discipline to make sure that when somebody comes to us, either from -- and it is oftentimes our friends.
I mean, there are lobbyists who are getting paid to lobby something. They come and say, "You got to do this for me." You have to have the discipline to step back and say, "Hold it. Who are the shareholders that that person is lobbying for?" They're lobbying for some company. It is an honorable profession. I've done it myself. We have to have the discipline to step back and say, "Hold it. What is it that's at stake here?" What's at stake here is whether or not we're going to do what is right, not what our friends want us to do, but what is right.
You have the same thing in the context of politics. Political parties are all scrambling to try to maintain some control over the American culture. And the political parties are getting weaker and weaker, and so what they do now is they come in and say, "let's say something bad about the other guy," not because the guy is bad, but because they're registered different than we are. "Let's say something bad about their idea," not because it is a bad idea, but because, frankly, it is not our idea, or it might be a good idea and I would rather it is mine.
As you know, I've become absolutely unabashed at stealing good ideas any place I can get them and I usually try to even admit it. But what I'm arguing for a different way of doing business. Because I think what is going on in this country and this state is that people are beginning to wonder about not the decisions we make, but the way that we make them and what it is that turns out to be important to us when we weigh the future and we weigh those decisions.
We had this conference in January in Casper in which we decided that, you know, it is the second term, we will go ahead and touch the third rail of Wyoming politics and we will have a conference about planning. And frankly, I expected that we could get a modest attendance, maybe 100, 125. We ended up with 525 people. The room was packed. We had to turn people away. We had to extend the participation. And the most interesting thing about it was that a lot of people there were not the usual suspects. The usual suspects being you and I and the folks who are always at these things.
The second thing that was unusual was the degree of energy people had about thinking about what this state is going to be in the future, thinking about what it is we want for ourselves and for our children. I expected that we would get run out of town, that the notion of talking about planning and zoning and the rest of it, we would suddenly end up in a difficult circumstance. Quite the contrary.
But I did get a couple messages. One is they want it to come from the bottom with you. They want it to be driven by the values that they possess, not the values that I possess or the values that this legislature possesses. The counties and the jurisdictions in this state have very different visions about who they're going to be and how they're going to get there and we need to support that.
Second message I received and received quite clearly is that there is a concern about the way we are thinking about the future, that we are focused not on the issues that they're concerned with, which is housing, environmental protection, what kind of job they're going to have and the things that account for their daily life and healthcare, but they look at us and wonder exactly what it is you people are doing down there in Cheyenne.
We will be approaching you, both in this session and later, about participating with us in an effort to do some form of an Envision Wyoming, to draw upon that energy and to draw you into that. And when we do, we will be asking you to set aside the traditional sort of values and serotypes we bring and to sit down and talk honestly about what this state could be and what we hope it will be in the future. We owe that to ourselves, we owe that to our children, and we owe that to future generations.
I'm delighted that you would entertain me today. It is always a pleasure. I look at this as the sixth time I've been before you, and I'm delighted by that. I expect that I will double that number before I am done. Just checking to see if you're still awake.
Nancy and I look forward to seeing you at the house for dinner through the session. I wish you Godspeed with your work. I ask that we exhibit the courage that we enunciate as we travel around the state; that we address these issues with vigor, that we address these issues with energy, and that we arrive at a result that is good for us and for the citizens of the state. Thank you very much.
On behalf of the members of the Legislature, President Schiffer thanked Governor Freudenthal for attending the Joint Session and for his message.
President Schiffer then introduced the Honorable Barton Voigt, Chief Justice of the Wyoming Supreme Court.
STATE OF THE JUDICIARY
BARTON R. VOIGT, CHIEF JUSTICE
FEBRUARY 11, 2008
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Governor, members of the Legislature, fellow judges, friends and fellow citizens of Wyoming:
I especially want to thank you legislators who came to our breakfast this morning and pretended like you were looking forward to hearing what I had to say here today. With that encouragement, I went back to my office and added about twenty minutes worth of material because I didn't want to disappoint you
Truthfully, it is my honor and pleasure to appear before you this second time to report on the state's Judiciary. It seems like such a short time ago that I was here for my first message as Chief Justice. And I am afraid that the short time perception arises more out of my getting older than it does out of the idea that time flies when you are having fun.
Let me tell you, the other Justices lied about the Chief Justice business when they handed it to me for a turn. There is a lot of work, with no more time in which to do it. And no extra pay, no state car, no nothing. Just a lot of meetings. So many meetings that I'm not sure I actually get any real work done anymore.
Not to compare myself with Abraham Lincoln, but I will use one of his anecdotes to tell you what this job sometimes feels like: In the depths of the Civil War, while things looked grim and the outcome was still in doubt, someone asked Lincoln what he thought of being President. Lincoln replied: well, it's kind of like the fellow who was tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. When asked how he liked it, the fellow replied, "if it weren't for the honor of it, I would just as soon walk."
If that sounded like a complaint, it really wasn't. I love this job and I can't think of anybody I'd rather have doing it. I find that I trust myself implicitly and have utter confidence that I will do the right thing. Now, down to some brass tacks.
When I spoke to you last year, I had to report that five state judges had resigned soon after I became Chief Justice. I assured you there was no cause and effect relationship in those events. Now I can feel even more comfortable in that assertion, because I can tell you that we made it almost a full year - to December 21st, before anyone else resigned. On that date, I received notice that Judge Nicholas Kalokathis - who has been a District Judge here in Cheyenne since 1987 - intended to retire in March. The Judicial Nominating Commission is just now finishing up the process of selecting potential nominees to replace Nick - we are meeting on Friday, so those names will go the Governor at the end of the week.
I want to thank Judge Kalokathis publicly for his outstanding years on the bench. Not to insult the rest of us still remaining, But Nick was the intellectual light amongst us, and he will be sorely missed.
Speaking of folks who are sorely missed. I cannot help but note the absence of Natrona County's Tom Walsh and, if he is listening, I want to wish him well on behalf of all the Judges in the state. Tom is a man who has dedicated his life to serving the people of Wyoming - from Vietnam to Mayor of Casper to the state legislature. So, from one HSCHS grad to another - best wishes in your new challenge. I was quite concerned about the diminishing influence of Hot Springs County with Tom's absence, but Tim Stubson tells me that he spent a couple of years as a toddler out at Grass Creek, so I guess that will have to do. What do you think Governor, will that be enough guidance for him?
I suppose I should first report to you on the progress - if that is the right word - of the remodeling project across the street. I can start by saying that you will not recognize the inside of the building when you next go in it. It has been gutted top to bottom and completely restructured. Unless folks are lying to me, we are still on schedule and should be able to move back in around October. We believe we have spent the state's money wisely - with the result being a stately but utilitarian structure that will serve well for many years to come.
When I say "we have spent the state's money wisely" - what I mean is that the construction management division of the Department of Administration and Information has prevented us from spending it as we would have liked. Now, the relationship of the construction management division to state entities such as the Supreme Court is that of any loving paternalistic relationship. The relationship of any father to his children. I will give you an example of the kind of parental relationship I have in mind. When I was growing up, I had a friend whose father was very devoted to him. Several times, the father took him out onto Boysen Lake to teach him to swim. He would gently lift him over the side of the boat and place him in the water. I asked my friend how it was going, and he said, "well, the swim to shore isn't bad. It's getting out of the damned gunny sack that's hard."
We have had a few gunny sack incidents during the remodeling project, but for the most part, difficulties have been resolved to our relative satisfaction. Of most concern to us have been situations where we believed something would be provided as part of the construction contract, but have found out later that we would have to budget for it separately. Fortunately, the over-estimate of the library shelving cost, has taken up some of that unforeseen expense. About three weeks ago, a moderately severe difficulty arose when the server room turned out to be too small to hold all the equipment for which it was designed. We had a big meeting to iron out the difficulties, and I believe we are back on track. Some items, such as the carpeting and the bookcases in chambers, are not of the same quality as those we left behind, but we will learn to live with it.
The other major project that you have funded for us in the last couple of years is our electronic case management system. Some of you may remember that the Supreme Court lacked any kind of modern docketing and case management system. I can say today, with a certain amount of pride and little humility, that our new electronic case management system is up and running, with the court's docket also now available to the public on our website. And, at 3:29 p.m. on Wednesday, January 2nd, the court received its first electronically filed brief. We are still in the experimental stages of e-filing, but we expect to have it available to the entire Wyoming State Bar by year's end. When we get there, we will be the first state Supreme Court in the country to have a fully integrated docketing, case management, and electronic filing system. For that success, I want to thank our clerk, Judy Pacheco and our database manager, John Capron, for their hard work and dedication, and I want to thank this body for its foresight in recognizing this need and making it possible for us to fulfill it.
Next up will be the much more complex question of electronic filing in the trial courts. We have begun thinking in that direction. I expect that we will once again start with criminal cases, because of the smaller number of filed documents and the smaller number of participating attorneys. We also are studying the possibility of requiring the electronic filing of transcripts before we get into the more complicated area of electronic filing of docketed papers. Court reporters already prepare transcripts in electronic format, so that transition may not be too difficult. We are purposefully moving slowly because we have heard so many horror stories from other state judiciaries that spend lots on money on projects that were later junked because they were not properly planned before they were implemented.
We are not climbing this technological mountain simply because it is there. We are doing it because of the tremendous advantages it offers, and because the world is headed in that direction whether we like it or not. Perhaps an example of the potential for electronic documents will help: for a typical supreme appeal, we receive a brief from the appellant, a brief from the appellee, then a reply brief from the appellant. The Clerk of District Court then sends us the record, which consists of all the filed documents from the trial court docket, plus copies of the transcripts from any motion hearings and the trial. We read the briefs, hear oral argument, then prepare an opinion using our notes from oral argument, the briefs and the record. Very often, the parties have cited to dozens of cases, and the papers and transcripts contain thousands of pages.
Historically, we have been required to go to the case books to find the cited cases, and to go to the paper record to find the facts relied upon by the parties. Electronic briefs eventually will give us the ability, through the hyperlink process, simply to click on the case citation or the page citation and go directly on screen, to the case or to the record citation. A tremendous savings of time and trouble.
This discussion of technology leads me into a couple of related subjects. First, I have to say that we are struggling mightily - with the money you give us - to keep the state judiciary's technical needs met. Some examples - the Circuit Court's old and untrustworthy tape recorders have been replaced with digital recording systems. We are also developing video arraignment capabilities, especially in the busier jurisdictions, and those with jail facilities separated from their courthouse, where prisoner transport is both a security risk and a financial concern. The best example is Rawlins, where video court appearances for state penitentiary inmates is far better than transporting the inmates to and from court.
Next, I want to talk to you about the Judicial Systems Automation Account. For those of you not familiar with the Judicial Systems Automation Account, it was created by the legislature in 2000 as a special revenue source for - quote - "The purchase, maintenance and operation of computer hardware and software to enhance the communication, records and management needs of the courts." end quote. Two statutes require the district and circuit courts and another allows the municipal courts, to collect $10.00 per civil case, to be deposited into this special fund.
Our first attempt to manage the expenditure of these funds was a committee called the Judicial Technology Task Force - the JTTF. The method of operation of the JTTF was basically a grant system. In other words, the JTTF would receive proposals for particular individual projects, and then would recommend to the Board of Judicial Policy and Administration - the BJPA - whether to fund the proposal.
During this past year, I sat down with our court administrator and information technology staff to discuss the effectiveness of this methodology - that is, the somewhat sporadic funding of special requests - what I call "pet projects: - with no central focus or plan. Generally speaking, we were concerned that we were expanding into too many areas, with too little comprehension of where we were going, and without first having our own house in order.
The result was the creation by the BJPA of a new court technology committee comprised of the Chief Justice, the court administrator, a district judge, a circuit judge, a clerk of district court, and the Supreme Court's two main computer gurus. That committee has abandoned the old grant system ad will operate in the future under a more centralized plan, as contemplated by the statutes.
Our goal is a technological structure within the judicial branch of government that is uniform from top to bottom, and that provides instant access to our information to all court users, including especially the law enforcement agencies that most need to be kept up to date. Right now, one of the frustrations in this database management is the question of how to integrate the state's municipal courts and municipal ordinance violations into the system.
Finally getting out of the technology sphere, I will update you on some other things going on in our branch of government.
We can't do entirely without statistics, so I will tell you that in 2007, the Supreme Court published 208 opinions, as compared to 162 in 2006. We cannot account for this dramatic increase, and hope that it is temporary. With five justices, 200 opinions means that each justice wrote around 40 opinions last year. Giving credit where credit is due, I will tell you that Justice Kite actually authored 50 opinions this year - a truly astonishing number. In case you can't do the math, that is slightly more than four per month. An opinion can be anywhere from 10 to 100 pages - or more - but usually is somewhere between 25 and 40 pages. If you imagine doing that four times a month, on top of reading maybe 50 briefs and hundreds of pages of trail court record, you will get an idea of what we do across the street. When I was working on my master's degree, I had to write a thesis. It turned out to be about a hundred pages. It took me two years and I thought it would kill me. I wish I had that luxury now.
Rather than give you lots of trail court statistics, I asked the court administrator simply to compare last year's total filings in the district courts with the number of filings ten years ago. It turns out that the average increase statewide in filings during that period was 17.4%. I am sure the statistics for the circuit courts are similar.
Some other events and developments:
In September, just prior to the state bar meeting in Jackson, the court held oral argument at the high school in Star Valley. We try to do one of these "road shows" once or twice a year to let the public - especially our school kids - get a feel for what the Supreme Court does, and what actual court is like. As opposed to what they see on T.V. While these local appearances are considerable hassle for the court, we are repeatedly praised for going to the effort, and the local reception is invariably favorable.
The week after the state bar meeting, we met with the commission on judicial conduct and ethics - our constitutional oversight body - just to answer any questions the commission might have and to get acquainted with new commission members. Two specific things I might mention about that meeting.
First, we agreed to create, and have created by court order, a special committee headed by the law schools Professor John Burman, to study the American Bar Association's revised model code of judicial conduct. That committee will recommend to the court whether Wyoming should adopt the revised code. We adopted the current code in 1990. The ABA has revised the code largely as a result of litigation in states that have contested judicial elections. Those states, unlike Wyoming, have problems with what limitations can, constitutionally, be placed upon the speech of persons seeking judicial office, and also problems with the question of judges seeking financial contributions to run election campaigns. Not a pretty sight when you have competing interests financially influencing the selection of judges. Wyoming is very fortunate not to have that problem.
The second item about the commission on judicial conduct and ethics that you might find of interest is that the commission has established a website for the purpose of educating the public on the commission's role, and to make it easier for citizens to file complaints against judges. Did I say that was a good thing? I’ll let you know as time passes.
While I am talking about judicial conduct and ethics, I will also mention that the court has entered into a contract with a professional substance abuse counseling firm to make sure that such services are available - either voluntarily - to judges who may suffer from a substance abuse problem. The judiciary followed the lead of the Wyoming State Bar, which contracted for those services for all the lawyers in the state.
Some quick comments about other areas of interest both to you and the judiciary:
You will notice that one of the specific requests in the trail court budget is for the payment of interpreters for non-english speaking defendants in criminal cases. Curious as to just what that entailed, I e-mailed all the trial courts and asked them to report their use of interpreters this past year. Here are the tabulated results: Our courts hired Spanish interpreters 43 times, sign language interpreters 14 times, Russian interpreters 6 times, Vietnamese, Chinese, and East Indian interpreters three times each, and the following languages one or two times: Cambodian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Croatian, Romanian, Korean, Amharic, Arabic, Samoan, and Basque.
I bring this up because it is not a minor issue. Language barriers in the courtroom raise questions of constitutional due process, of constitutional access to the courts and of compliance with Federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The National Conference of Chief Justices has identified the need to provide language interpreters as one of the top ten problems facing the judiciary nationwide. Cost is a big factor, as interpreters must be provided not just for court appearances, but for conferences with defense counsel and for statutorily mandated procedures outside the courtroom, such as substance abuse and sexual abuse evaluations as part of the sentencing process. The next big question in regard to this issue is whether standards, testing and certification are on the horizon. This problem is going to get worse before it gets better.
You will undoubtedly want to know how the guardian ad litem program is administered via contracts among the Supreme Court, where the funds are housed, the district courts, where the funds are used and the counties, who pay a proportionate share of guardian ad litem fees. We submitted a detailed report to the Joint Appropriations Committee and the Joint Judiciary Committee on October 29th. That report should be available to each of you if you are interested in the details. Suffice it to say for now, that the state's share of the total program expenditure jumped from $698,000 in fiscal year 2005-2006 to $1,064,000 in fiscal year 2006-2007.
The program has not been without its problems. The accounting and payment system is complex because it involves attorney reporting, district judge oversight, county payment and supreme court reimbursement. Furthermore, we have been receiving anecdotal reports from counties that the availability of this "pot" of state GAL funds has greatly increased the amount that it costs the counties not just for GAL's, but for counsel for indigent parents. You will notice as you proceed through the session that the Governor, the Supreme Court and the Joint Appropriations have recommended that the GAL program be moved from the Supreme Court into the State Public Defender's Office - an office which specializes in hiring specialized attorneys. We hope that you will support this effort to make more efficient use of the state's funds while providing high-quality representation of children caught up in the system.
Like last year, I am looking at my watch and trying to get through everything I ought to mention, but without boring you to death. Some particular items that were, are, or will be legislative matters.
You are all aware that courthouse security is an issue that is not going to go away anytime soon. We want to have something in place before, not after, disaster strikes. There is a committee functioning now to study all of the counties to determine probable needs in the county-owned buildings.
One of the main purposes of the new front access to the remodeled Supreme Court Building - in addition to handicap access - is to provide a security check point at the entrance. In that regard, we first looked to the possibility of utilizing highway patrol troopers as security officers. That is not going to happen, so we are asking you to allow us to fill the Supreme Court Bailiff position that has been provided for by statute since 1899. As Governor Freudenthal has pointed out, that would keep the troopers out on the highway where they belong.
While we await improvement in the provision of security, we have asked the National Center for State Courts to provide training for all judges and court employees on what to do in case of such emergencies as hostage-taking, and the appearance and use of deadly weapons. Invariably, the courts deal with people who are troubled or in trouble, and the potential for violence always is there. We believe we have a duty to our employees to protect them as much as reasonably possible.
Now some important stuff:
The judicial branch is seeking pay increases in a couple of ways. First, we are mirroring the executive branch by asking for a 4% per year increase for employees during the upcoming biennium. Second, separate legislation proposes a judicial pay increase of 6% for the first year and 4% for the second year of the next biennium. The 6% figure was selected to make up for 2% raise given to other state employees last year that judges did not receive. It is our understanding that this percentage approach, basically matching the percentage increase for other state employees, is your preference, and we find it a satisfactory way to keep judicial salaries at a reasonable level, both as compensation for the work done and to attract competent applicants for vacant judicial positions.
Of equal concern to the judiciary is the state of the present judicial retirement system. In a nutshell, the situation is this: several years ago, you created a new judicial retirement system to replace the existing unfunded system. Most sitting judges opted into the new system, and all judges appointed since then are automatically in the new system. However, an unanticipated problem was uncovered in the new system when District Judge Terry Rogers left office. He had opted into the new system, so his retirement benefit was calculated under the "actuarially sound" provision thereof. Much to everyone's surprise - and Judge Roger's distress - the calculated amount was much less than the amount he would have received under the old system.
It is our firm belief - the state judges of Wyoming - that you never intended that result. Encouraging us in that belief is the fact that you subsequently adopted legislation allowing Judge Rogers, and others caught in his predicament, to opt back into the old system.
Legislation designed to eliminate this unintended consequence of the new system failed last session, for reasons of which we are unsure. This year, we are asking you to give a favorable consideration to similar legislation so that Wyoming's judicial retirement system will reflect the realities of judicial tenure in this state and will provide fair and reasonable benefits to retiring judges, at an appropriate age.
The next issue that I wish to discuss does not touch the entire judiciary, but is of vital importance to one judicial district: the creation of a district judgeship in Pinedale. Sublette County is part of the Ninth Judicial District, which also includes Teton County and Fremont County. Historically, the district judges from those two counties have covered Sublette County's workload by traveling there as needed. Statistics from the new caseload study that you funded last session, plus the realities "on the ground" in the Ninth Judicial District, show that minimal coverage is no longer adequate, and is not fair to the people of Sublette County.
The facts are these: there is one district judge in Teton County, with an identified need for 98% of a judge. Basically a one-to-one ratio, leaving no time for that judge to cover Sublette County. There is also one district judge in Fremont County, with an identified need for 130% of a judge. In other words, the judge in Lander not only lacks the time to cover Pinedale, he cannot even be expected adequately to cover Fremont County.
Finally, we all know that Pinedale is in the midst of an economic boom, based on energy development, that has fundamentally altered the nature of that community and all of Sublette County. Sublette County's $4.4 billion now accounts for 21% of the state's entire assessed valuation, and Sublette County pays nearly 20% of all taxes paid into the state's coffers. From 2000 to 2006, Sublette County's population grew by 24%. All of this has created a great deal of pressure upon the provision of judicial resources within the county. For instance, the budget of the Sublette County Attorney - once the proverbial drop-in-the-bucket - totaled $939,339 last year. The office now has a county attorney, four deputies, six secretaries and an investigator.
The caseload study completed last year already showed the need for a district judge in Pinedale at a 42% workload capacity. When combined with the 30% shortage in Fremont County, the numbers show that, even if growth stopped today, which it won't, the Ninth Judicial District is right now short 72% of the district court coverage to which its citizens are entitled. In 2004, 200 cases were filed in the district court in Pinedale. In 2007, that figure had leaped to 240 - almost double. Now is the time to do the right thing and create a position in Sublette County to handle the workload that is surely just going to continue to grow.
Now the good news. I drove up to Pinedale in January to meet with the County Commissioners, the Clerk of District Court and Judge Young, who came over from Lander. We toured the already remodeled county courthouse, which is clearly sufficient to house a district judge, and the commissioners assured me that the very limited amount of work required to make a law library into two offices, would be done before a judge was ever selected. I told them that, after the Legislature's experience with a certain other county that shall remain nameless, assurances and promises would not suffice. We had to see hammer and nails. There will be no problem in that regard.
I have to say that I like to come over here and tell you about the judicial branch of government, but I hate to come over here and ask for money like a kid who has spent his whole allowance and still wants to go to a movie. But that is the way the constitutional separation of powers works - you have the purse strings. And I know that right now everyone is worried about the national economy and the possibility of a recession. Even my dogs are worried about the economy. The price of Alpo is up to $.99 a can, and that is almost $7.00 in dog money. But that makes my point - expenses is relative - the general fund budget for the entire state judiciary is less than 2% of the state's general fund budget. If federal funds and special revenue funds are included, the judiciary's share of the state budget is less than 1%. I do not believe that percentage has grown appreciably over the past several decades, and I can assure you that the Supreme Court, as head of the judiciary, does all it can to ask only for what it needs, as opposed to all it would like to have. One example of the conservative approach to spending has been our resistance to the creation of judicial positions to staff the burgeoning demand for the treatment programs that are being called "problem-solving" courts.
In conclusion, as we look to the future, these are what we expect to be our pressing issues: completion of our building, keeping up with technology, continuing docket delays and the pressure to address and cure society's ills through problem-solving courts: drug courts, dui courts, family courts, mental health courts and the like. There is also a perception out there - a perception that I do not believe is shared by all judges - that our juvenile court system is broken. Finally, I believe Wyoming will take part in the national re-assessment of the Civil Jury Trial System. Nationwide, there is a fear that civil jury trials are disappearing because of the cost and delay occasioned chiefly by pretrial discovery. In particular, there is some thought that the pretrial discovery deposition - designed to guarantee jury trials on the facts, without surprise - may actually be making trials too expensive for the typical litigant, and may be causing the calendar and docket delays of which we hear so much complaint.
As I finish up, I will tell you that there is really only one thing wrong with this job. When I think about it, it is probably the same thing that is wrong with the Governor's job and your job. I had to go to at lease five meetings for every one of those things I just told you about. Actually, that is what the job description for chief justice should be - the guy who goes to meetings for us. And as our court administrator has learned over the past year, I hate meetings.
Let me tell you a story about meetings. One of my brothers used to work for a state agency here in Wyoming that I will not identify. The manager of the office in which my brother worked liked meetings. They had meetings every day. They had meetings to prioritize goals, They had meetings to identify strategies. They had meetings to schedule other meetings. But the best one - and I think this is the day my brother quit - was when they had a meeting to try to figure out why they weren't getting any work done.
So inasmuch as this gathering today is just one big meeting - and I am keeping you from getting your work done, I will once again shut up and sit down.
Thank you for your time and patience.

Section 323.
(a) The purpose of this section is to authorize the University to receive a bridge loan from the corpus of the University of Wyoming permanent land fund account for the purpose of proceeding with construction of the remainder of the previous legislatively approved athletics facilities plan. The state treasurer shall invest funds in the University of Wyoming permanent land fund account in a bridge loan to the University of Wyoming which shall not exceed a total of four million three hundred thousand dollars ($4,300,000.00) or the amount of binding commitments from donors which have been secured but not yet paid, whichever is less. The loan made under this section shall be repaid not later than December 31, 2011, and the unpaid balance of the loan shall bear interest at five and thirty-five hundredths percent (5.35%) annually.
(b) Transfers of loan funds by the state to the university under this section are subject to the following terms and conditions so that the university can complete its previously authorized athletics facilities plan by receiving an advance on donor commitments:
(i) Transfers shall be made only to the extent that binding commitments from donors for gifts that qualify for the athletics facilities matching program under W.S. 21-16-1001(a)(ii) have been made. The university shall provide documentation satisfactory to the state treasurer regarding binding commitments eligible for the transfer of funds;
(ii) Transfers made to the university under this section shall be deemed to be qualifying contributions for the purpose of the state match and the university's access to funds under the athletics facilities matching program, W.S. 21-16-1003;
(iii) When donors make payments toward their binding commitments under paragraph (i) of this subsection, those payments shall be immediately transferred to the state treasurer to repay accrued interest and then to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan funds transferred;
(iv) Not later than January 1, 2012, the university shall repay all loans made under this section and accrued interest. If the payments from donors are insufficient to repay the loan, the loan balance together with any state matching funds exceeding the paid qualifying contributions shall be fully repaid from non-state revenues generated by the university's department of intercollegiate athletics. Repayment of the loan principal shall be deposited into the University permanent land fund account, and payments of interest shall be deposited in the University permanent land fund income account. Any repayment of unmatched state funds shall be deposited to the challenge account created by W.S. 21-16-1002(a).". COHEE, BROWN, MARTIN, SLATER

(d) Matching funds paid under this section shall not be distributed to or encumbered by the board in excess of the amount in the wildlife challenge account and shall not be transferred to the Wyoming wildlife and natural resource trust account by the state treasurer except to match gifts actually received by the board.
(e) For the purpose of computing the matching amount, the state treasurer shall use the value of a gift based upon its fair market value at the time the gift is received by the board.

TWENTIETH DAY
MARCH 7, 2008
Majority Floor Leader Simpson moved that bills currently pending before this body in the 59th Wyoming State Legislature, 2008 Budget Session, be indefinitely postponed.
Minority Floor Leader Martin seconded the motion. Speaker Cohee called for the vote and the motion carried.
Majority Floor Leader Simpson moved to inform the Senate that the House of Representatives of the 59th Wyoming State Legislature, 2008 Budget Session, has completed its business and is ready to adjourn. Speaker Cohee called for the vote and the motion carried. Speaker Cohee directed the House Chief Clerk, Patricia Benskin, to inform the Senate that the House of Representatives of the 59th Wyoming State Legislature, 2008 Budget Session, is ready to adjourn.
Majority Floor Leader Simpson moved that a committee of two be appointed to inform the Governor that the House has completed its business and is ready to adjourn; and to escort His Excellency, the Governor, to the House Chamber. Speaker Cohee called for the vote and the motion carried. Speaker Cohee directed Representative Stubson and Representative Hales to inform the Governor that the House of Representatives is ready to adjourn; and to please escort His Excellency, Governor Dave Freudenthal to the House Chamber.
The House stood at ease until the sound of the gavel.
Sergeant of Arms Darrel Moore announced His Excellency, the Governor of Wyoming, Dave Freudenthal.
Speaker Cohee welcomed Governor Freudenthal to the House of Representatives.
Mr. Speaker, members of the House of Representatives for the State of Wyoming, I appreciate the opportunity to greet you and to bid you farewell.
As you know at this stage of the session, we look back and there are bills that everybody's worked on, some of which made it, some of which didn't. We all have some degree of disappointment. There is some disappointment I have as chief executive in terms of the CBM discharge bill, some health care bills, property tax relief, but those disappointments are dwarfed by what I believe to be a substantial body of work accomplished during the last 20 legislative days.
Our first mission when we gather here pursuant to the constitution is to concentrate on the adoption of a budget, and we did that - a fairly substantial budget and one which was adopted largely premised on a presentation of a budget in which we included all of the funding items. And I think that's an important step. Where we included all of the local government funding, all of the transportation funding and all of the other categories because it set us in context. If one wanted to add money to highways, they had to take it from somewhere. If you wanted to add money to local governments, you had to take it from somewhere. And so you were placed in the context that a budget process accounted for the relative speed and dispatch with which the budget was adopted as much as anything. In addition to that, the Appropriations Committee under the leadership of the chairman spent a great deal of time educating themselves as to the requests that you as individual members would hear from agencies or interest groups to come and add money. And each of those then could be discussed - not in the context of an individual bill, not in the context of an individual proposal - but in the context of an overall budget that we're prepared to live with for the next two years.
The other thing that's important to realize is that we will return here next session - most of us will return here next session to confront what will be additional available revenue. I report to you that the price of natural gas today at Opal is $8.96 which makes me an incredibly good governor and makes you incredibly good representatives of the state of Wyoming. The point being that as you go home and you think about what we confront in the next session, there are two things that are important. One is that there will be revenues, but revenues that now become focused on the question of: How do we no longer make up for 20 years of no revenue, but how do we use these revenues to continue to advance us on a path of excellence and advancement for the citizens of this state?
In prior years, a lot of the funding was really making up for things that we weren't able to do when we didn't have the funding. We've established the base in this budget, and next session we will have the opportunity to take that base funding and to go from there to excellence.
I also know that there are a number of lobbyists - I've heard from them - who have talked about how incredibly dull this session has been, that there's nothing to do. I think part of that is simply because they don't have anything to bill their clients for. On the other hand I think it also reflects the fact that what this session has been - it's been relatively quiet, but it has not been unproductive and in fact the session really is, is that still waters run deep. If you look at the breadth of legislation that you considered and the breadth of budget items that you considered, there is much that has been done for the state. Obviously the initial attention will go to the efforts that have had to do with carbon capture and sequestration - that seems to be the one that captures the national eye, in part because this is in fact the first body to substantively address the issue. Most of the bills that have passed I refer to them as having no effect during the life and begin of the current politician in office. They talk about what they're going to do in 2020. What this legislature did is talk about what we're going to do now and how we're going to act to actually implement the efforts. I commend you for that.
But there are also other bills, all of which you saw come through, bills that both in terms of change of language and change of attitude afford the recognition of the human dignity of every citizen in the state. We took steps that understand the importance of education, which is fully funded. We took steps to understand the importance of property rights, the proper role of counties. I think it’s been a pretty remarkable session. And remember, you did it all in 20 days.
So, one of the reasons the session was relatively quiet is when you have a lot of work to do, you don’t have a lot of time to do anything else. And I watched people struggle over the bills, try to understand what it is you are voting on, and I commend all of you for those efforts.
It is a session which will be reflected upon as time goes by as a session in which we put the capstone on the efforts to build a budget framework that addressed the needs of the past and began to lay the framework for where we go in future years.
I cannot be here without commenting upon Mr. Speaker.
I have enjoyed a positive relationship with the Speaker, a positive relationship that’s been characterized by agreement on some issues, disagreement on others, but always a healthy ability to communicate and to understand that when we disagreed, we need not be disagreeable nor does it mean that we shouldn’t continue to work together.
Because as public servants we have an obligation, and that obligation to the people who elected us is that we have to put aside the sort of temporary disappointments or the penchant for the speaker to be wrong and for me to set that aside and understand that at the end of the day we owe the citizens who elected us a collegial relationship in which we work to move things forward. I commend the Speaker. He has done a marvelous job during his tenure as Speaker to improve the well-being of the citizens of the state, the economy of the state and to respect each of the individual members of this body.
Two other items: one is contained in the budget and some of the other legislation are some steps that I think are going to turn out very important with regard to the management of the state’s resources. We’ve talked about some of them in terms of CO2, but the others are those things we did with regard to sensitive species, wildlife, and game and fish. If you think about it, at least when I first came into office, we were confronted with a series of threatened and endangered listings with regard to species. We spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars dealing with that, doing research and really trying to take care of a problem, as we used to say, after the horse is out of the barn we were trying to close the door. One of the things that you’ve done in this session is establish the proposition that we’re going to be proactive with regard to looking at sensitive species going forward, so that in fact in the context of a properly structured state regulatory framework, we’re going to be able to participate and try to make sure that those decisions at the federal level are considered properly. It is not a small thing for us to have done that, for ultimately those decisions which affect the resources of the state, ripple through and can undermine the very economy on which we rely, an economy which allows us to fund education at phenomenal levels, do things like the Hathaway scholarship, fund the Wildlife Trust Fund, put money in the Cultural Trust Fund, have a funding level for mental health and substance abuse which is the envy of states all around us. It is a remarkable circumstance that we have, but it is not a circumstance that will be maintained without continued diligence, and I appreciate the work of the Legislature in trying to make forward-thinking decisions about how to protect us as citizens and to protect our economy.
The second issue is to simply thank you for just the human courtesies that this body affords to myself and to my bride in that, whether it’s when you arrive at the house for the dinner or when we see each other in the hall or when we gather, frankly to disagree, I appreciate the fact that in Wyoming we do that in a way that is both civil and constructive, recognizing that not all of us are going to always agree. In fact, those of you who know Nancy and I know that she and I don’t always agree and in that case, I’m the one who’s wrong. When you and I disagree, you’re the ones who are wrong. But we have something that they do not have in some other states and they certainly do not have in the nation’s capital, and that is the capacity to recognize that our obligation to the people who elected us and our obligation to those that will follow us includes maintaining a degree of civility, a degree of substance to our discussions, and a degree of rejection of the siren call from each of our political parties to bash the other side, not because of the substance but because the opportunity exists. I appreciate what you do for the state. I appreciate the courtesies that you have shown to my wife and me. I am delighted that you have all shared this time with us. I am also delighted that you’re leaving and please don’t take offense by my next comment that it won’t bother me a lot that I won’t see you guys for a while. God bless you.
