The s ecific sections and items which I havevetoes are as follows:

1. Superior Cor Judges

This agpropriation of $35,333 was intended tofund t ~e costs for two addi ional Superior Court

gdjsauthorized by Senate Bill No. 3181. Thei1autrizing additional udges was tnot

approved by the Legisla ure, and thisappropriation is unnecessary.

2. Department of g-mu- and EconomicDeveo2!-pl

Section 7 p sraappropriation of $23,106 from therState TradeFair Fund to the Department of Commerce andEconomic Development for a Washington StateAviation Trade Fair. Through the enactment ofChapter 43.31 RCj, th Legislature determinedthat the State Trad Pair Fund should not besubject to appropriation. Expenditures from thefund are governed by the provisions of Chapter43.31 RCU and this appropriation is clearlycon;trarZ to the intent of that earlierlegisla ave decision. If the Legislature desiresto reveprse an earlier decision on a non-appropriated fund that change should be effectedby amendment of tte basic statute rather thanthrough the appropriation bill. It should be

[ 780 J

noted that the veto of this section will fl9t Vetoreven theDepartment of Commerce and Economic MessgeEeeomnt from expending funds for a Washington

State Aviation Trade Fair under the presentprovisions of Chapter 43.31.3. EMPloyment Relations Commission

On page 4, lines 11 through 30, 1 have vetoed theentire section 13.

Thi grposed appropriation ofoy$155,000 wasinte ed to nd the Employent Relations

commission and its Advisory Committee to beauthorized by Engrossed Substitute House Bill No.1341. The bill authorizing the Commission wasnot approved by the Legislature, and thisappropriation is unnecessary.

£4. Department of Agriculture

on page 6, section 19 1 have vetoed the item onlings 22 and 23 whicA requires the Department ofAgriculture to contract with the Department ofGame for, the study of predator control funded inthis section.

Although predators do affect both game and non-game wildl1ifq species , this particular studyiintended chiefly to control livestock predators.sBecause of this emphasis on the protection oflivestock the s udi should be conducted by theDepartment of Agricul lure rather than throuqh theDepartment of Game. The deletion of thereferenced item will ensure that the study isconducted by thee agaency having majorresponsibility for livestck prog rams.5. DePartment of 9EPIlment ScurityX

OnepageI9,section 22, line 22, I have vetoed the

The proposed wording of this proviso wouldspecifically require that federal WIN funds beused to contract with Neighbors in Need fortrain~ing, job placement, and other employ ment

sevce oy mak persons served by Neighbors inNeed emploable. The specification that onlyfederal WIN funds be used for this purpose,however, is unduly restrictive. There is noassurance that WIN funds will be available, andthere is a p oss ibility that other federal fundsmight be available for use in this worthwhileIprogram. The deletion of "WIN,, in this section

wi11 enhance the possibility that federal fundsmight be obtained.

6. Department of Social And4 Health Services

on page 11 section 2(4, line 1, I have vetoed theitem 'by t6i director".

These wor ds appear in a proviso which is intendedto gives counties, cities and other politicalsubdivisions the 'authority to lease publicly-owned social and health care facilities toprivate org~nizations. In copying the provisorom an existing statute these words were

inadvertently included. If the words are notdeleted1I the intent of this proviso cannot beaccomplished.

7. Deparenat of Social and Health Services

on page 22,' section 25 I have vetoed the provisostarting on line 27 an& ending on page 2?, line6, which prohibits the Department from imposingratable reductions in public assistance grants.The proviso could impose on the Department a taskthat might not be possible to perform. It wouldrequire the Department to meet the necessar~caseload financial costs from. establishexappropriations without imposing ratablere duct ions or reducing grants.

Department vould have no choice but to reduce Vetoqrants through ratable reductions or otherwise Messagelover maximum grants so as to avoid expendingfunds in excess of those appropriated.

8. Pog of Prison Terms and Paroles

on page 61, lines 22 through 28, I have vetoedthe entire section 49.

This appropriation of $211,297 was intended tofund the costs of reorganizing the Board ofPrison Terms and Paroles under t he provisions ofEn rossed Substitute House Bill No. 647. Thisbill was not approved by the Legislature, and theappropriation is unnecessary.

9. D@_artment of Revenue

On page 62, section 50, I have vetoed the provisostarting on line 3 and ending on line 6.

Under this proviso the Department of Revenuewould be reyuires to use 1972 values instead ofthe 1973 va ues which would be contrary tolegislativq intent. The confusing language inthis se~tion wa* a result of an qrror inlegislative drafting, and removal of this provisois supported by the Department of Revenue toclarify the basis of distribution to librarydistricts as contained in this section.

10. Dqpartment of Revenue

On page 62, 1 have vetoed the entire section 51.

This appropriation is intended to reimbursecertain taxing districts in Pierce County forlosses they might suffer under the recentWashington State Suprm or eiin iValentine v. Johnsto, 83 Hn. 2d 390 11974) . Iam VieTBIffg -Thi-9tc~on in its entirety forseveral reasons. First, the language used in~theappropriation may be technically in grror sinceit provides for a payment to the Pierce CountyRefund Fund for amounts paid to certain 'taxingdistricts. Payments from fl~e VgfuRU-Pu are noUipq~ T neTaxing districts but rather to theindividual taxpayeV. Second, the necessarymechanics already exist in the present propertytax laws (RCW 84.68.030 and 84 .68.040) for thecounty to reimburse itself for payments from theCounty Refund Fund. County officials also haveseveral other alternative courses of action tomake the necessary adjustments. Third, thisa ppropriat ion discriminates against certain unitsof local government such as the county and portdistricts in that they are excluded from theproposed reimbursement. Fourth, thisappropriation requires taxpayers all over thestate to provide the necessary funds to resolve aproblem unique to a single county. This is notequitable nor is it necessary given the fact thatlocal officials have ample means to resolve theproblem.

11. DeRartment of ECologyl

on page 63, I have vetoed the entire section 54.

This section appropriates $680,400 from federalsources to the Department of Ecol ogy and directsthat this amount be granted by the Department toactivated air pollution control authorities.

Presently the Environmental Protection Agencydirects the manner and designates agencies whic hmay ur~ceive federal funds avai la le for air

p1ution control. The effect of the langua qe inthis section could bring the state in conflictwith federal req ulations and jeopardize thereceipt of any of t ese federal funds. Federalfunds *are made available to the state for astatewide air pollution control proq ram withavailable funds directed to be used by thoseagencies which th6 Environmental ProtectionAq ency considers can contribute the most tostatewide control. if the Environmental

[ 782 ]

WASHINGTONLAWS. 1974 1st Ex.Se§s. 143rd _Leqis.3rd EX.S.) .1

Protection Agency were to require that a lesser vetoamount than that contained in the appropriation Messa.should go to local authorities and a greateramount to the Department of Ecology, thisap proprIat ion could result in withholding of allfederal- air pollution control funds from thestate. Further, should any local authority ceaseto function which is a possibility, theDepartment of Eco logy is required by statestatute to carry out the air polution controlefforts in that area. Federal funds desi qnatedfor that area should reasonably be available tothe Department to carry out thoseresponsibilities. This would not be possibleunder the terms of this section.

12. Apportionment Formula Funds

on page 70 1 have vetoed the entire section 73.

The section would require local school districtsto place a high priority on reducing speciallevies to the extent that any districts receivestate apportionment formula funds in excess ofthose anticipated when the districts establishedtheir excess levies for collection in 1975.

This section purports to direct that the twenty-five million dollars ayprogriated in section 13of this bill be* employed foar relief of speciallevies. In fact, it does nothing of the kindinasmuch as the referenced appropriat ion was nomade through the apportionment formula. To saythat this constitutes s pecial levy relief is acruel hoax to beleaguered taxpayers across thestate.

It now appears that the twenty-five milliondollars appropriated in section 33 may bechannelled to fund salary. increases forcertificated personnel . I init ially contemplatedvetoin? both sections 33 and 73 on the groundsthat he purported special 1evZ relief gase bythe Le qilature was purely fictitio us. I haveinstead sdetermined to veto only section 73 andallow the section 33 appropriation to be used forsalary increases for certificated personnel. Anysuch increases will be taken into account whenInext present a request to the Legislature to dealwith the question of salary increases for stateemployees and employees in the higher educationsector.

13. Leqislative ajRRval retguirements.

For the reasons set forth below, I havedetermined to veto certain items appearing asfollows:

1. Page 8, section 21, beginning on line 30 andending on pae9 line 1;2.Page 10 seclion 24, beginning on line 15 and

ending on line 22;3. Page 40, section 25, beginning on line 20 andending on line 21;4 . Page 43, section 26, line 5.

Each of the referenced items provides for thereview and approval by the Legislature ordesignated legislative committees of actionsand/or expenditures authorized in theirrespective sections. This requirement violatesthe fundamentals of goodi government byinterposinq legisl ative interference in theadministrative process. Thq Legislature willalways have th e prerogative to set, bylegislation, basic policy and such guidelines asmay be needed for its. implementation. Havingdone so, however, administrative agencies must beentrusted to carry out its functions withouthaving to seek legislative approval at every turnof the decision-making process.

With the exception of the sections and itemsdescribed above, the remainder of En rossedSubstitute Senate Bill No. 3253 is aprove.
