STATE OF MINNESOTA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR 130 STATE CAPITOL SAINTPAUL 55155 ARNE H. CARLSON GOVERNOR May 24,1993 The Honorable Dee Long Speaker of the House Minnesota House of Representatives 463 State Office Building Saint Paul, Minnesota 55155 Dear Speaker Long: I have vetoed and am returning Chapter 368, House File 1529/Senate File 0001, a bill relating to a study concerning reorganization of the environmental and natural resources agencies. I am supportive of the concept of a legislative review of the proposals for reorganization of the environmental agencies proffered this legislative session, and my staff did work closely with the House authors to establish a structure for the proposed study which was acceptable to this administration. Unfortunately, the melding together in conference committee of the House and Senate versions took on many of the cumbersome provisions outlined in the Senate bill and would be untenable to implement. I might point out that the legislature does have the ability under current law to establish a legislative task force and conduct hearings during the interim. Perhaps that would provide a viable alternative to this legislation. My personal commitment ta reorganization of the state's environmental and natural resource agencies to provide far a better delivery of services to the public remains strong and perhaps is best reflected in the legislation introduced for this administration by Senator Morse and Representative Hausman.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Saint Paul, MN 55155 Dear Governor Dayton: Thank you for declaring the month of April 2012 to be Financial Literacy Month in Minnesota. This first ever declaration underscores the importance of life-long learning in all stages of life, including budgeting and understanding credit, responsible borrowing, planning for retirement and consumer protection for all Minnesotans. During the first year of your term, I convened the first Financial Literacy Roundtable in April 2011 to identify what is already being done to improve financial literacy in Minnesota; pinpoint what stakeholders in the government; nonprofit, and private sectors can do together to achieve tangible progress; and gather suggestions for how the Minnesota Department of Commerce can contribute to the cause of financial literacy.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 February 27, 2018 Dear Rep. Matt Dean, I am writing to express concerns with HF2725, a bill that would repeal MNsure and create a new county based eligibility determination system for Medical Assistance (MA) and MinnesotaCare. This system would replace the Minnesota Eligibility Technology System (METS) and MAXIS and require counties to administer MinnesotaCare. The bill also establishes an information technology steering committee to direct development of the new system. The goal and impact of the bill is unclear as it is currently written. We are still assessing the potential unintended effects and disruptions this bill will create for our stakeholders, partners and the individuals we serve. Below are some of our preliminary concerns. OHS is designated as the single state agency required to administer and oversee the Medicaid (Medical Assistance) program. OHS ensures compliance with federal eligibility rules and establishes processes and procedures to ensure Minnesotans are able to enroll. The bill is unclear about how Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare eligibility will be assessed and determined and how authority would be .divided between OHS, counties and the commissioner of Revenue. It is unlikely the federal government would approve of such a structure. It is also unclear how we would transition from METS to the new proposed system, or how the resources currently devoted to METS would impact the county-developed system.
