House Journal: Page 1834: Tuesday, April 25, 2000
For FY00, twelve counties have funded uniform patrol services for unincorporated
areas from the rural services fund. There currently is litigation pending against two of
those counties on the issue of whether those services can be funded through the rural
services fund. It would be premature to make code changes before these cases have
been resolved by the courts.
I am also concerned about the potential double taxation this bill would impose on
some taxpayers. City residents could be paying for law enforcement through both the
city budget and the county budget, thus paying twice for these services.
For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove House File 2502.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
