Increase Part-time District Attorneys to Full-time
Sections 481 [as it relates to s. 20.475 (1) (d)], 4735d, 4735r, 4740e, 4740n
and 9410 (1c)
This provision provides $83,500 GPR and 1.2 FTE district attorney positions for
Florence, Buffalo and Pepin counties on January 2, 2017, which will be the first day of
the new four-year term of office. Currently, Florence County has a 0.5 FTE district
attorney position, Buffalo County has a 0.5 FTE district attorney position and Pepin
County has a 0.8 FTE district attorney position.
I am vetoing sections 4735d, 4735r, 4740e, 4740n and 9410 (1c), and partially vetoing
section 481 [as it relates to s. 20.475 (1) (d)] by lining out the amount under
s. 20.475 (1) (d) and writing in a smaller amount that reduces the appropriation by
$83,500 in fiscal year 2016-17 because I object to the inclusion of these positions when
there is not a uniform demonstrated need across all three counties. With this veto, I am
reducing the 1.2 FTE positions in the appropriation under s. 20.475 (1) (d) in each year
of the biennium. I am requesting the Department of Administration secretary not to allot
these funds or authorize the additional position authority.

Reference to the Department of Children and Families
Section 4699f
This section would allow the Department of Corrections or the Department of Children
and Families to review and inspect certain court records concerning a juvenile who is
required to register as a sex offender. It would further allow the Department of
Corrections to disclose certain information obtained.
I am partially vetoing this section to eliminate the reference to the Department of
Children and Families because the department was erroneously included. Only the
Department of Corrections should be authorized to make a request to review and inspect
these records.
