[Fla-facrlboard] Fwd: FW: [Lib-seniorleadership] FW: Governor Has Vetoed Complete Florida Plus Program / FLVC / FALSC

Tue Jun 30 10:50:59 EDT 2020

Resending the message below drafted by Deborah, as not all received the
forward earlier. Please review and provide feedback, I think we should send
out a message to FACRL about this, if not today then tomorrow or Thursday.

Alyssa,

Time is of the essence.  How does this sound:

“Yesterday Elijah Scott, Executive Director of FALSC, learned that the
governor vetoed the entire Complete Florida Plus Program funding, which
includes all funding for the Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative
(FALSC).  See below:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://floridapolitics.com/archives/344583-gov-desantis-signs-corona-impacted-state-budget-vetoes-more-than-1-billion__;!!PhOWcWs!hV9zCmQqpE0owCbj7j_M8vLlKEbRbQecu63EKkqEjfcwAgL_YguU7A_Gu9nym9WEZCHdZLBbGw$ 

Within the embedded PDF document, page 16 shows the veto for “Specific
Appropriation 161A, Aid to Local Governments – Grants and Aids – Complete
Florida Plus Program, From General Revenue Fund: $29,390,671.”

If this change stands, FALSC may not survive, which would be devastating
for Florida’s libraries.  Elijah urges: “we believe it would be helpful if
each of you could contact your administration to make them aware of this
veto and of the importance of restoring the Complete Florida Plus Program
funding back to the budget in order to preserve FLVC, FALSC, and DLSS.”

As members of the FACRL board, perhaps we should unite in a message to the
Governor’s office as well as considering other measures of support?

Hi Mike,

I was not aware of this, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Deborah, as our legislative liaison could you draft a message that we can
send on behalf of FACRL?

Thanks,

Alyssa

Hi FACRL board,

Concerned message from a recent board member and former legislative liaison
here.  While I am no longer on the FACRL board, I wanted to bring to your
attention the email (copied below) from Elijah at FALSC yesterday.

TL;DR if funding is not approved for the Complete Florida Plus Program,
there may not be a FALSC tomorrow.

I don’t need to tell you what that would mean for all of our academic
libraries, and more importantly for all the folks working at FALSC. This
story is evolving as we speak and you may want to follow along.

I am sharing this note to encourage FACRL to reach out to the governor’s
office. Perhaps we can even get ACRL to lobby on behalf of FALSC.  Maybe
place your own calls. Get your university’s admin engaged.

Best regards,

Mike
