Governor’s Veto Messages
August 6, 2019
To the Honorable Members of the Assembly:
I am vetoing Assembly Bill 273 in its entirety.
This bill requires the Department of Transportation to maintain a list of at least seven subbase materials and their associated thicknesses needed to provide equivalent structural support of a highway improvement. It further allows all bidders to base their bids on this list of subbase materials unless the engineer of a project specifies, in writing, his or her determination to prohibit one or more subbases from the project.
I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to law changes that are both unnecessary and cumbersome. As acknowledged in the bill's nonstatutory provision, the department already specifies a list of equivalent materials for road projects. Department engineers likewise already determine what subbases are appropriate for each individual project. Requiring the department to also specify in writing which of the listed subbases would be inappropriate for a project creates unnecessary administrative duties.
Respectfully submitted,
Tony Evers

To the Honorable Members of the Assembly:
I am vetoing Assembly Bill 284 in its entirety.
This bill would require the Department of Transportation to develop a discretionary merit compensation (DMC) award program for the purpose of providing lump sum awards to classified employees under the DMC program currently administered by the Department of Administration.
I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to this encroachment on the Department of Administration's authority to administer state employee compensation policy pursuant to the provisions of the compensation plan, as approved by the Joint Committee on Employment Relations. Furthermore, this bill is unnecessary. The Department of Transportation already participates in the DMC program administered by the Department of Administration, which provides a means for the department to financially reward employees who have excelled in any number of ways, including identifying cost-saving and efficiency-improving measures.
Respectfully submitted,
Tony Evers
Governor
