STATE OF GEORGIA
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900

TO MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
We have managed Georgia's fiscal situation very well. Thisis evidenced by the fact that our reserves are full for the fourth straight fiscal year and we closed fiscal year 1997 with a healthy surplus. My amended budget recommendations to you propose that we spend the vast majority of this available revenue on educational improvements, a tax cut, to pre-fund bond payments and to address the Year 2000 issue with our computer systems.
I am asking the General Assembly to approve a $205 million income tax cut starting in 1998 that will raise the state income tax personal exemption for both taxpayers and dependents to match the federal exemption level of $2,700. We would also raise the deduction for the blind and over 65 to the federal level of$1,300. This will be the second largest tax cut in Georgia's history. The largest tax cut, the elimination of the sales tax on food, is now in the final stages of implementation. To offset the cost of this new tax cut in fiscal year 1998, I propose setting aside $70 million from our available surplus.
In a separate supplementary budget, I am recommending approval of$152,176,753 to address the state's Year 2000 computer problems. The problems are worldwide in impact and will cost in the billions of dollars to correct. The Year 2000 is close and we've got the money, so now is the time to solve our own problems before it is too late. This proposal will accelerate the availability of these funds so remediation can begin as soon as possible.
For the third year in a row, my budget recommendations will pre-fund debt payments that will become due in fiscal year 1999 in the amount of $200,000,000. I believe this is a wise and prudent use of available surplus funds.
Our prudence paid off this year. Georgia became only the eighth state to receive a triple A rating from all three major rating services when Standard & Poor's upgraded us from AA+ to AAA. We already had the top rating from Moody's and Fitch. Pre-funding debt continues to show our responsibility in meeting obligations.
The highest priority for continuing needs is the mid-term adjustment for local school systems. Actual fall enrollment in our public school system is 1,332,363; a 1.9 percent growth rate. This requires an additional appropriation of $78,577,895.

The largest lottery expenditure is $78,868,973 in capital outlay to construct new classrooms for fast-growing school systems.
l
An additional $16,985,464 in lottery funds will be allocated to increase by 8 percent the student enrollment for HOPE scholars attending public schools and technical institutes and $11,995,246 for growth at our private colleges.
For our public libraries, I am recommending $10 million in additional state general funds that, along with regular funding, will allow our public libraries to purchase 600,000 new books during the remainder of fiscal year 1998 and during fiscal year 1999. For our public school media centers, I am recommending an additional $5,205,809 in fiscal year 1999 that will allow the purchase of 400,000 books, including books already in the normal allocation.
This is the most ambitious library book expansion program in Georgia's history, and I am happy that it is possible during my Administration.
Georgia's airports, from the world's second-busiest in Atlanta to the general aviation airports spread around the state, have been a major economic boost to Georgia over recent decades. But many of these general airports have become outdated as large companies have upgraded to larger jets that need longer runways and more sophisticated control systems. Therefore, I am recommending $35 million to undertake an expansion program that will place all of Georgia within a 45-minute drive of a top-level general aviation airport and provide a major boost to spread economic growth throughout the state. Runways will be lengthened to 5,500 feet long to accommodate the large jets now in use.
Besides a more productive economy, our good fortunes this year can be attributed to sound financial planning. For several years now, we have been following a financial plan in which revenue estimates took into consideration the need to maintain reserves necessary to meet legislative mandates. We have held the line on program expansions and reversed the trend of runaway entitlements. But most of all, we have invested in our future by increasing the educational opportunities for all our citizens. I think we are now seeing some of the payoffs.
This is quite a turnaround from my first amended budget, when it was necessary to cut spending by $202 million because of the recession then underway. In contrast, the amended budget I am presenting today totals almost $590 million.
My last amended budget recommendations are conservative in their impact on future budgets and merit full consideration. I believe my recommendations embody all of the criteria that I have established as Governor and represent a fiscally sound investment on behalf of taxpayers and citizens.

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM
State law (50-27-1 et. seq. O.C.G. A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: a voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and teacher technology training. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $601,923,390 for F.Y. 1998, including surplus and agencies audited lapse from F.Y. 1997. The Governor recommends $601,923,390 for the following programs.
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten for Four-Year Olds
This program is designed to give Georgia's four-year olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of$211,279,348 in. F.Y. 1998 to serve 59,000 four-year olds at public and private sites.
Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) and Other Scholarship Programs
These programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for F.Y. 1998 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in the 1993-1994 school year and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE grant at any Georgia public college or eligible private institution in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE grants in 1993-1994 and later who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive grants for their junior year.

GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
1. Increase other funds (aircraft receipts) by $8,011 to fund the hiring of 1 aircraft mechanic for the last 3 months of the fiscal year.
2. Provide state general funds for a contract to conduct an audit ofMARTA's Safety Plan as a requirement for the state in fulfilling its responsibility for safety oversight of Rail Fixed Guideway Systems.

Other Funds 90,000

3. Increase the motor fuel tax budget in the capital outlay object class to reflect actual motor fuel tax collections in F.Y. 1997. The F.Y. 1998 budget is based on actual collections in F.Y. 1997. These funds will be used for right-of-way acquisition and construction of a new Brunswick Area Office ($9,000,000) and the four-laning and passing lanes road program ($15,674,866).

24,674,866

4. Increase in state general funds for grants to specific airports to provide a system of regional general aviation airports that meets the economic development needs of the state in attracting business to all areas of the state. These grants will enable 20 general aviation airports to upgrade to a top rated airport that can accommodate corporate jets. These airports will need runway expansions to 5,500 feet, navigational aids for precision approaches as well as larger terminals and more fuel and maintenance services. Seven airports are already in the top rated category but need repair, maintenance and operational improvements to properly serve business and the public. This $35 million investment will place almost all of Georgia within a 45 minute drive of one of these top level general aviation airports. Airports in the following counties will receive these grants: Baldwin, Barrow, Bulloch, Carroll, Coffee, Coweta, Decatur, Dodge, Early, Floyd, Gordon, Habersham, Hall, Jefferson, Laurens, McDuffie, Newton, Sumter, Thomas, Tift, Toombs, Troup, Union, Upson, Ware, Wayne and Whitfield.

35,000,000

5. Increase in state general funds for the Rail Passenger Authority to continue implementation of the state Intercity and Commuter Rail Plan. This recommendation funds the environmental impact analysis ($875,000) and design ($3,250,000) of the Atlanta to Athens commuter rail corridor. The recommendation also provides $175,000 for special consultants to prepare and draft agreements with the railroads and for related legal expenses. The state is advance funding the federal share ($700,000) of the environmental analysis which is 80% of the $875,000 total project cost in order to speed up the federal approval process on the Atlanta to Athens rail line. The $3,250,000 in state funds for design will be matched by a like amount in federal funds. Funding the state portion of the design now will further strengthen the state's ability to obtain federal funding and eliminate delays associated with different state and federal fiscal years.
