To whom it may concern;

I contacted your office yesterday and spoke to Tristan by phone in response to a local newspaper article which stated federal funding would be lost due to the removal of collective bargaining under the current budget proposal. He told me that it would not in fact be impacted b/c some collective bargaining for salaries is still in place (monies were not guaranteed b/c of federal budget issues but w/current budget bill WI in compliance to receive these monies if availalbe). In speaking to the Stevens Point Mayor, Andrew Halverson, this morning, who was quoted in the article that promoted my call, I was told that according to Federal Law the bargaining rights have to be the same as when the monies were allocated to the state so therefore the monies would very likely be withdrawn. PLEASE clarify this for me.

Thank you, Heidi Stolt

From: Hagedorn, Brian K - GOV Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 2:19AM To: Henry, Madeline - GOV Cc: Hurlburt, Waylon - GOV Subject: RE: Federal funds for city busying

Madeline,

Question on the below. Is this person a local official, or just a citizen who is curious? If they are a local official, then I think Waylon is the appropriate person to do the follow up.

If it is just a citizen, I do not want to respond. Our office has not shared or explained our legal analysis on this issue thus far, and I don't want to be in the position of explaining this or justifying what Tristan said, or debating it with anyone. I'm not sure how to handle this from a customer service perspective, but in

short, the Governor's Office is not planning on providing legal analysis on how the Budget Repair Bill affects federal mass transit funding.

Let me know if you have any additional questions or if I can help in any way in your follow·up on this.

Thanks!

To whom it may concern;

I contacted your office yesterday and spoke to Tristan by phone in response to a local newspaper article which stated federal funding would be lost due to the removal of collective bargaining under the current budget proposal. He told me that it would not in fact be impacted b/c some collective bargaining for salaries is still in place (monies were not guaranteed b/c of federal budget issues but w/current budget bill WI in compliance to receive these monies if availalbe). In speaking to the Stevens Point Mayor, Andrew Halverson, this morning, who was quoted in the article that promoted my call, I was told that according to Federal Law the bargaining rights have to be the same as when the monies were allocated to the state so therefore the monies would very likely be withdrawn. PLEASE clarify this for me.

Thank you, Heidi Stolt
