[Fla-facrlboard] Draft Letter Attached

Wed Jul 22 12:15:55 EDT 2020

Thanks for working on this!

I was told the Governor himself will have to issue an Executive Order or his veto will have to be overridden by 75% of the legislature for the funds to be restored.

Not sure how accurate that is though.  I think asking for advocacy is a good (safe) step.

This is what I’m thinking – thanks to Elana and Deborah for reaching out. I’m not sure we need to force anyone’s hand. I’m also not sure what we can ask for beyond just “pay attention!” but maybe something like this…

Our libraries are asking you now is to prioritize legislation and state-level actions to consistently fund and maintain the library services in higher education. Taking emergency action is important, but we need advocates for public higher education and libraries to know how badly we need them and why. We call on you to immediately investigate this massive loss to public higher education and to publicly advocate for correcting this decision.

Thanks!

I don’t know how specific we can get about suggestion alternative lines of funding or options, or if this would hurt or help.  I for one do not feel qualified to offer specific solutions, but others may have more insights on this.  There is however, an alternative path on the table, which is working with the state universities to fund FALSC and support it with their budgets.  We know that is in the works, and hopefully this letter will help it get some traction?  Curious what others think.

* External Email *

I couldn't figure out how to add this but our department was told that two things make re-funding or restoring funding for this cannot happen because of two Florid legislative rules: a veto cannot be rescinded, and once vetoed a budget line cannot be paid by funds rerouted from another budget item.

Now. I tried to look this up with a really shallow search and couldn't find anything about these rules.

That said, I think we can frame our letter with the idea to restore funding immediately using an alternative line of funding or to make emergency legislation or exceptions to allow this decision to be reconsidered. Does that make sense? Like even if there's just a line about that in the beginning or the end. Kind of like the thing we're asking for.

Thanks!
