MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE For Immediate Release:
Vote Could Impact the State Budget March 26, 2010, Lincoln- This month the legislature made further adjustments to the 2009-2011 state budget and continued discussions about the financial challenges Nebraska will face during the next two-year budget cycle. Last year the Appropriations Committee made extensive use of federal stimulus funds to create the 2009-2011 state budget. Despite the initial conservative approach to crafting the new budget, continuing declines in state revenue required additional changes to be made. During the budget-cutting special session in November, the legislature approved a five percent cut for most state agencies. An additional two percent across-the-board cut was made this month, with the knowledge that by next year, these cuts alone will not be enough to balance the 2011-2013 budget. With predictions of a $675 million and possibly up to a $1 billion deficit, the legislature will have to look at more and deeper spending cuts, and transferring money from the cash reserve fund. In order to address such an unprecedented shortfall, policy makers and citizens alike will have to become more creative in their thinking about how to reduce state spending and generate more revenue. One example of this type of creative thinking is LR 284CA, offered this session by Hastings Senator Dennis Utter. This proposed constitutional amendment would eliminate the state treasurer's office. Why, you might ask, should this office, which has existed since 1855 before Nebraska became a state, be eliminated now? The answer is: money. Before introducing LR 284CA, Senator Utter's office confirmed that eliminating the state treasurer's office would result in a savings of about $3.4 million. While the office of the treasurer would be eliminated by this proposal, the duties that are now performed by the office would still be provided to the citizens of Nebraska. The duties would simply be transferred to other state agencies that already handle similar responsibilities. In Nebraska the treasurer receives and disburses most of the money that comes into state government. The treasurer also deals with unclaimed property, administers the college savings program, handles child support collections and disbursements, and manages the state's long-term care savings plan. These duties would be transferred to other state agencies, such as the Departments of Revenue and Administrative Services. The directors of these departments have offered assurances to the legislature that they could assume these new duties without incurring additional costs. LR 284CA would result in the elimination of at least four or five administrative positions and one elected position. Supporters say that the change would reduce duplication of services and save money. Opponents argue that it would remove a much-needed system of checks and balances over state funds, which is currently administered by a state official who is elected by the citizens of Nebraska. At least three previous attempts have been made to eliminate the state treasurer's office, but LR 284CA is the first proposal to be advanced by a committee for debate by the full legislature. Several other states have eliminated their state treasurer's office. Nebraska is one of 37 states, in which the treasurer is elected by the voters. In the other states that have a treasurer, the individual who holds the office is elected or appointed by the state legislature, the governor or other designated officials. LR 284CA has advanced to the third and final round of legislative debate. After its passage LR 284CA will become a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the November general election ballot. It will be approved or rejected by the citizens of Nebraska. If it is approved a four-year window of time will be allowed for the transfer of duties to other state agencies. The candidate who is elected in November to serve a four-year term as the state treasurer will be charged with the responsibility of overseeing the transfer of the duties of the office before his term in office ends. Your vote on this important issue represents an opportunity for you to have a voice in shaping our state government and future state budgets.
