COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNOR
The following communication from the Governor was presented:
May 9, 2003
The Honorable Mary Kramer
President of the Senate
State Capitol
LOCAL
The Honorable Christopher Rants
Speaker of the House
State Capitol
LOCAL
I hereby submit the Proclamation setting the Extraordinary Session of the Iowa
Legislature to convene at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, May 29, 2003.
Sincerely,
THOMAS J. VILSACK
Governor
STATE OF IOWA
Executive Department
In The Name And By The Authority Of The State Of Iowa
P R O C L A M A T I O N
Whereas, the 2003 Regular Session of the Eightieth General Assembly adjourned
pursuant to Senate Concurrent Resolution 21, and
Whereas, beginning with my 2003 Condition of the State speech and continuing
throughout the legislative session that adjourned last week, Iowans repeatedly called
on lawmakers to pass the Iowa Values Fund and approve a FY 2003 state budget that
funds vital state services, and
Whereas, the Iowa Values Fund will transform the Iowa economy by creating
50,000 high-paying jobs, promoting industry clusters and regional economic
development, improving our quality of life and school facilities, and enhancing
university research and workforce development, and
Whereas, the Iowa House of Representatives already passed the Iowa Values Fund
in a historic and strongly bi-partisan vote last week, and community and business
leaders support the Iowa Values Fund as an essential step to creating a more vibrant
economy, and
Whereas, the General Assembly failed to pass a FY 2004 budget that adequately
funded vital state services and protected the health, safety, and welfare of Iowa
citizens, and
Whereas, Iowa cannot wait to create the Iowa Values fund and cannot afford to
underfund vital state services, since doing otherwise will jeopardize the future of Iowa
families.
Now, Therefore, I, Thomas J. Vilsack, Governor of the State of Iowa, in
accordance with Article IV, Section XI, of the Constitution of the State of Iowa, do
hereby proclaim that the Eightieth General Assembly shall convene in extraordinary
session in Des Moines, Iowa, at 10:00 a.m. on the 29th day of May, 2003, and to that
end I do call up and direct the members of the House of Representatives to convene in
the House chamber at the State capitol and members of the Senate to convene in the
Senate chamber at the State capitol at 10:00 a.m. on the 29th day of May, 2003, for the
purpose for which the General Assembly is convened, namely the matter of approving
the Iowa Values Fund, a FY 2004 state budget that will protect Iowans’ health, safety,
and welfare, and matters properly related thereto.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto
subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal
(SEAL) of the State of Iowa to be affixed. Done at Des Moines,
Iowa, this 9th day of May in the year of our Lord
two thousand three.
