MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1989

VETO NO. 1 - HOUSE BILL 576 BY REPRESENTATIVE COLWELL

This bill in its original form provided that a probationer would be required to serve a period of revocation of his probation in the jail of the county of the original conviction. The bill was amended by adding a provision relating to procedures for determining a chief jailer in a regional jail. A question arose regarding the statewide application of this legislation in light of its amendment, and because of further technical difficulties, the author of the bill requested that I veto House Bill 576.

For these reasons, I vetoed the legislation.

VETO NO. 2 - HOUSE BILL 896 BY REPRESENTATIVE PADGETT

This bill set up the procedure for the Consolidated Board t o govern the City of Augusta and the County of Richmond. Technical problems were found in this local legislation after its passage, and another bill was passed to correct the technical problems in the original bill. T h e author of the legislation requested that the original bill be vetoed.

For this reason, I vetoed the legislation.

VETO NO. 3 - HOUSE BILL 351 BY REPRESENTATIVE HOLMES

This bill changed the election law so as to provide that certain qualifying petitions, nominating petitions and petitions to qualify political parties would consist of cards containing certain information. After passage of this bill, it was discovered that problems would arise in implementing the procedures provided for under the legislation. After conferring with the Secretary of State's office, the author of the legislation asked that the bill be vetoed.

For this reason, I vetoed the legislation.

VETO NO. 4 - HOUSE BILL 104 BY REPRESENTATIVE REDDING

This bill amended the Merit System Act so as to define the application of the term, "working test employee". Under present law, an employee transferring from one department to another would still be subject to the six-month working test period although he had been an employee with another state agency for a number of years. The purpose of this legislation was to prevent the employing agency from being able to fire the transferring employee during the working test period.

This legislation would have provided that if a transferring employee's work performance was found to be unsatisfactory during the working test period, the employee would be allowed to return to a permanent status position in the agency from which the employee transferred, if the position were vacant, or be placed by the new agency in a position in a class in which the employee formerly held permanent status. If no position were available, then the employee would be placed in the next available position and a reduction in force would ensue. The net effect of the legislation could result in an employee, through no fault of his own, losing his job through a reduction in force because another employee had transferred into that department without satisfactorily completing the working test period. The practical effect of the legislation would be that interdepartmental transfers would not exist since an agency would not want to take a chance on the transferring employee having an unsatisfactory working test period.

Because I feel this bill would have had a detrimental effect on state employees and on the operation of state business, I vetoed the legislation.

:.. VETO NO. 5 - HOUSE BILL 381 BY REPRESENTATIVE McDONALD

This bill added technical language to the Appropriations Act for the state fiscal year

$.

,

ending June 30, 1989. This language was included in the amended budget which had previ-

"

ously been signed thereby, making this bill moot.

For this reason, I vetoed the legislation.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

VETO NO. 6 - SENATE BILL 235 BY SENATOR ENGLISH
This bill provided for certain definitions with respect to the term, "traumatic brain injury". After passage, technical problems were found with the legislation and another bill was passed which included the proper definition. For this reason, the author of this legislation requested that this bill be vetoed.
For this reason, I vetoed the legislation.
VETO NO. 7 - HOUSE BILL 473 BY REPRESENTATIVE CHEEKS
This legislation provided that vehicles carrying automobiles could be 65 feet in length as long as the load did not exceed 65 feet. The bill was amended to provide that vehicles transporting live poultry could be 65 feet in length. Both of these would be special exemptions to the present law. After passage of the legislation, the Georgia Supreme Court issued a decision which said that although a distinction could be made for automobile carriers, no such distinction could be made to allow an exemption for vehicles carrying live poultry. The effect of the decision was to allow all vehicles the same exemption as was given to vehicles carrying live poultry. Therefore, the effect of this bill would have allowed all vehicles to be at least 65 feet in length, as long as the load did not exceed 65 feet.
Since the effect of this bill was changed by the Supreme Court's decision and it was not the purpose of the supporters of this legislation to increase the vehicle length of all trucks, it was agreed that this bill should be vetoed.
For these reasons, I vetoed the legislation.
VETO NO. 8 - HOUSE BILL 464 BY REPRESENTATIVE REAVES
This bill would have exempted certain vehicles carrying farm produce from the maximum length requirements set for all other vehicles. In effect, vehicles carrying agricultural products would have been allowed to be a t least 67 '12 feet long. Because of the Georgia Supreme Court's decision mentioned in the message for Veto No. 7, the effect of this legislation would have allowed all vehicles traveling on the highways of this State to be at least 67 '/2 feet long.
Because this was not the intent of the General Assembly in passing this legislation, 1 vetoed this bill.
VETO NO. 9 - HOUSE BILL 15 BY REPRESENTATIVE LANE
This bill would have amended the legislation creating the State Boxing Commission to provide that this Commission would be authorized to regulate professional wrestling in this State and be renamed the State Boxing and Wrestling Commission. Due to the number of wrestling matches held in this State on a weekly basis, a number of staff personnel and investigators would be needed to implement the provisions of this legislation; however no funding was provided to implement the provisions of this legislation on July 1, 1989. Additionally, certain technical problems were found in the legislation which would have made the implementation of the legislation extremely difficult for the Commission to carry out.
For these reasons, I vetoed the bill.
VETO NO. 10 - SENATE BILL 25 BY SENATOR BARNES
This bill would provide that in death penalty cases, during the phase in which the jury is determining whether the defendant is to receive life or the death penalty, the trial judge would be authorized to direct a death sentence for the defendant if a t least 10 of the 12 jurors voted to impose the death penalty. Presently, all 12 jurors must agree to impose the death penalty, for the defendant to receive a death sentence. I support capital punishment under the law - without exception - but in the final analysis, I believe that

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1989

the decision to execute an individual should be made by no less than a unanimous vote of 12 citizens.
For this reason, I vetoed this bill.

Gentlemen:
For the past several months Governor Harris and the leaders of the House and Senate have worked diligently to formulate a policy to recommend t o the General Assembly in response to the U. S. Supreme Court decision in Davis vs. Michigan Department of t h e Treasury.
As one member of the House, I am grateful for the work which you and others have dedicated to this task; however, I have serious reservations as to whether or not the passage of legislation along the lines of the current plan described in the Governor's statement of August 23, 1989, would he fiscally sound and in the best interest of all taxpayers of our State.

I fear that the current plan will do little more than stir additional resentments among federal retirees, while simultaneously triggering a compound erosion of Georgia's tax base

3048

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

that will quickly shift the tax burden to other population groups - primarily single-parent families and married couples where both parents have entered the workforce to meet the financial needs of their families.

No one can deny that Georgia's elderly population is growing. This trend will continue well into the 21st century as "baby boomers" approach retirement age. Thus, we may be setting into motion a regressive revenue plan that will be all but politically impossible to rectify five to ten years down the line.

I. T H E CURRENT PLAN WILL SHIFT T H E INCOME TAX BURDEN TO WORKING GEORGIANS.

This weekend a constitutent of mine, who, along with her husband, is over 65, furnished to me the following list of Georgia income tax breaks which they received in 1988:

$ 8,000.00 $15,187.20 $ 3,000.00 $ 1,400.00
$ 3,000.00 $30,587.20

-

Retirement Exclusion ($4,000 x 2)

-

Social Security Exclusion

-

Standard Deduction for Joint Return

-

Added Deduction from Income for those

65 and older

-

Personal Exemption

-

Total Tax Free Income

The next $10,000 of their income was taxed a t 1 % to 5% rate for only $340. Only their income which exceeded $40,087 was taxed at the top 6% rate.

By contrast, a married couple under age 65 with no retirement or social security income, is entitled to the $3,000.00 standard deduction for a joint return, and $3,000.00 of total personal exemption. On the same 1988 income, a working couple would have paid $1,815 in state taxes ($40,587 minus $6,000 = $34,587. Ten thousand dollars of this
amount would be taxed a t the 1 % to 5 % rate, $340, and the remaining $24,587 would be taxed a t the top 6 % rate, for an additional $1,475).

A local C.P.A. has prepared for me a comparison of the effects of increasing the retirement income exclusion from $4,000 to $8,000 in 1989 and $10,000 in 1990. A copy is attached. It clearly demonstrates the disparities which we will be adding to our income tax system if the current plan is adopted. Please note that the comparison is based on income
before Social Security benefits.

11. T H E CURRENT PLAN DOES NOT PROVIDE EQUAL T R E A T M E N T FOR RETIREES WHO ARE INELIGIBLE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

O.C.G.A. 48-7-27(a)(7) exempts all Social Security benefits and tier 1 railroad retirement benefits, to the extent included in federal taxable income. As the above illustration from my constituent shows, she and her husband received last year, and will continue to receive under the current plan a Social Security exclusion. Federal Civil Service workers are not entitled to Social Security, and it is my understanding that many local school systems opted out of Social Security. The DeKalb County school system is among those local systems which did so, and their large number of retirees will not be eligible for this exclusion.

Some federal retirees who have met with members of the General Assembly indicate that if the current plan is adopted they intend to file suit because of this inequity.

111. T H E CURRENT PLAN WILL CREATE ESCALATING REVENUE LOSSES FOR T H E STATE OF GEORGIA.

The Governor's economic advisor, Dr. Henry Thomassen, estimated last week that the $33 million revenue impact anticipated in 1990 under the new pension tax plan will grow by an astounding 7 % , compounded annually, over the next three years. He added that this projection should he considered a "floor" or minimum estimate in future years.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1989

3049

The taxation of state retirement benefits will generate approximately $13 million to offset this loss, but recent discussion seems to indicate that during the 1990 session we will consider using this revenue to fund an additional 2.4% cost of living allowance for those losing their exemption.
The elderly are the fastest growing segment of our population, according to the U. S. Census Bureau. In 1980, 11.3% of the U. S. population was 65 or older. By the year 2000 this group will represent 13.1% of the population and by 2050 more than 20% of the population will be over 65.
Increases in the total number of retirees, increased retirement income, and increased Social Security income will result in escalating revenue losses in the future.
The state's growing commitment to prison construction, funding for the Quality Basic Education Act, spiralling Medicaid costs, state employee health care and other budget demands forced us to adopt the largest tax increase in state history this past session. The revenues generated from the sales tax increase will be reduced when the limited food exemption takes effect next year.
The public supports increased public funding in the war on drugs, and the House leadership is taking bold action to make the fight against illegal drugs a top priority for state government. The war on illegal drugs will cost money.
If we continue to grant exemptions, where will the money come from to fund these programs without an additional tax increase?
IV. T H E CURRENT PLAN WILL ERODE T H E PROPERTY TAX BASE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
A total of 150 Georgia counties, municipalities and school districts offer homestead exemption programs for the elderly - most imposed by legislative action. There is also a statewide homestead exemption on school taxes for qualified homeowners 62 and older. While these exemptions vary widely in terms of both income criteria and exemption amounts, they are all tied to income reporting criteria on state tax returns.
It is obvious that as income exclusions are increased for 280,000 Georgia elderly, many will suddenly fall within the income criteria of a number of these homestead exemptions.
The potential revenue impact on local governments and school systems should not be ignored. A number of school districts in this state are close to the 20 mill ad valorem cap imposed by Georgia law. These systems have nowhere else t o turn to make up the potential revenue loss. Few others will be able to absorb revenue losses in light of the financial demands imposed by the Quality Basic Education Act. Therefore, school systems and many of our local governments as well, will face the prospect of shifting the tax burden to younger homeowners, or turning to their legislative delegations to abolish or change homestead exemption criteria.
If we grant income tax exclusions for 1989, the General Assembly will be unable to prevent funding problems of local governments unless we lower homestead exemptions all over the state. Property taxpayers will file 1990 homestead exemptions based on 1989 income.
If the pension tax plan is considered a difficult political issue now, I predict it will pale in comparison to the thought of downgrading homestead exemptions for the elderly across this state.
V. T H E CURRENT PLAN IS PATCHWORK REFORM.
Once exemptions are granted it is difficult to take them away. Before additional exemptions are written into law, they should be part of a general tax reform plan, not merely a response to the federal court mandate that the pensions of state retirees be taxed in the same way as those of federal retirees.

3050

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Although Georgia's economy has changed dramatically in recent years, creating a potential for a more diverse revenue mix for state and local governments, our revenue structure has received only sporadic and piecemeal revisions since Georgia imposed the sales and use tax in 1951. We have not stopped to review the overall fairness of our tax system, and there has not been a comprehensive review of Georgia's revenue structure since the Tax Reform Commission delivered its report in 1980. Political promises in 1990, coming on the heels of this year's tax increase, could prevent the consideration of meaningful changes in our revenue code for many years to come.
You will recall that during the last session of the General Assembly, together with five other members of the Ways & Means Committee, I sponsored House Resolution 294, which proposed the creation of the Georgia Tax Reform Commission of 1990. At the time H.R. 294 was introduced, we recommended that the sales tax adopted this year be "sunsetted" so that the recommendations of the Georgia Tax Reform Commission of 1990 could be considered and acted upon by the General Assembly in 1991. We also recommended that a low income tax credit should be provided along the lines of the Thurman Amendment which was considered on the House floor during debate of House Bill 474.
With each new issue that arises, inequities in Georgia's tax system grow. For example, two years ago, when the General Assembly moved to bring Georgia's income tax code in line with the federal, the General Assembly eliminated the state's traditional child care exemptions on the theory that we could no longer afford them. Despite the increased deductions for dependents, this was a severe financial blow to thousands of families with young children. Despite a committed effort by Representative Allen this past year to reinstate these child care exemptions, the General Assembly has not done so.
How can we tell these parents that we can't help them with child care costs when we apparently are about to enact across-the-board tax exclusions for the elderly that are tied to income only in cursory fashion?
We need a comprehensive plan for the 1990's and the 21st century to assure adequate revenues and to bring fairness and equity in the distribution of the tax burden.
VI. THE STATE'S RESPONSE SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE COURT MANDATE.
It is generally agreed that Georgia has three basic options to comply with the Supreme' Court's ruling:
1. Extend the exemption given to state retirees to federal retirees;
2. Repeal the preference given to state retirees; or
3. Provide a uniform exclusion for both state and federal retirement benefits.
Discussions in the past several months have centered on the third alternative, and have been broadened to give exclusions to private pensioners.
The Democratic Caucus should seriously consider returning to the second alternative and take the lead in initiating a comprehensive study of our tax structure. We cannot afford to continue patchwork tax reform.
CONCLUSION.
I urge the members of the Democratic Caucus to support action in the special session
to bring Georgia in compliance with Davis vs. Michigan Department of Treasury by
removing the exclusion for state retirement benefits. We should take emergency action during the first week of the 1990 session to increase state retirement benefits to offset the effects of this tax on retirees who have low to moderate incomes.
I also urge the Caucus to dedicate the next three months to forging a comprehensive income tax structure for the elderly that will fairly address the concerns of federal, state

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1989

3051

and private retirees. This review should include resolving the question of whether federal retirees should be paid refunds for taxes paid in prior years.

In addition, I urge that a new Tax Reform Commission be established at the earliest possible date, to conduct a thorough study of Georgia's tax structure at all levels so that we can avoid the crisis to crisis approach which we have been forced to follow this year.

The Republican Caucus has proposed a giveaway program which would extend tax exemptions for all government retirees beginning at age 55. We should not attempt to outpander the minority party by following a course which is fiscally irresponsible. Our state is fiscally strong because of the leadership which has been provided by the Democratic Caucus, and it is an honor for me to work with you and other members of the Caucus in an effort to formulate a responsible majority position for the special session.

Sincerely, /s/ Jim Pannell

In order to determine the total family income, the non-taxable income such as social secu rity benefits and tax free municipal bond interest should be added to the taxable income figures.
