Other Ballot Issues

Cullman County: Vote NO in WET/DRY Election


Vote NO to Amendment 1. Here is why:

This Year’s Amendment One, More Robbing the Principal of the Oil and Gas Trust Fund

The first amendment to be on this June 4 primary ballot will be another raid on the principal of the oil and gas payments to the Alabama Trust Fund. As you recall the “other Amendment One” consolidated two trust funds and set up the process to raid the principal of the Alabama Trust Fund to fund “infrastructure needs.” If you recall, this last Amendment One is now part of our Constitution as Amendment 666. This new one, while going for a good thing, is just another such raid of principal from that savings account belonging to Alabama citizens. The amendment on the ballot stems from HB 414 and, if passed, will create a rainy day fund for the General Fund, not the education fund, so while folks cringe at the thought of another possible year of proration in the education budget, this amendment would do nothing to stop that. The General Fund rainy day fund will be funded by receipts into the Alabama Trust Fund from oil and gas payments (principal going to the Fund) up to 6% of the General Fund for fiscal year 2003. Once established, no further amounts may be credited to the General Fund Rainy Day Account except repayments as required, that is, to repay funds taken from it to prevent proration of the General Fund. We were promised that if the first controversial Amendment One that created the first raid on the Trust Fund were passed, that it would not happen again. But, guess what, here is the next one. 

The other bad thing about this is that there is no provision for any accountability in General Fund budgeting built in to the bill. Nothing to require budgeting on last year’s revenue rather than pie in the sky projections. Nothing to keep the legislature from going to the fund every year to fund their appetite for more spending. They will have a ready excuse to spend more than they should, because they will have an automatic why to cover such over expenditures, that is, until they deplete the state’s savings account entirely and thus kill the goose that in laying the golden eggs each year. The whole idea behind the Trust Fund originally was to protect the oil and gas revenues from being squandered by an over-spending state government. Yet, here it is again.

Repayment of the ATF in future years seems to be uncertain. The proposal requires repayment within 5 years but does not set aside any money for that purpose or specify where such repayments would come from. There is no requirement to pay interest on the funds that are “borrowed”, which means that the ATF would lose money it could have earned. The biggest loser would be the General Fund, which depends on interest from the fund as one of its largest revenue sources. I guest then they would have to go to the General Fund Rainy Day Fund to bail it out. Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul!

The creation of a rainy day account with no pressure to more carefully budget current resources and more carefully restrain spending would add further pressure on those who estimate revenue and those who pass budgets, especially if there is no certainty and timeliness of repayment. Thus it would create a situation where we could see “raids” on the funds to cover over-budgeting rather than revenue decreased actually caused by changing economic situations.

A Rainy Day Fund in a good thing to have. Most states have them. But I understand that they are funded by surpluses returned to the Fund at the end of each fiscal year or money appropriated for the fund from current revenue. 

At the least, if the ATF is to be used to initially fund these accounts, there should be a mandate that guarantees repayment from real revenues within a reasonable time, and in full, with interest, so that the ATF does not lose money. This proposal does not seem to have any of these protections.
