$10,896,938 in general funds, more than fully restoring the FY12 general fund cuts.  Beyond these dollars, federal funds and other funds spending has increased almost 16 percent over pre-cut levels.  The Agricultural Experiment Station is one of the few programs in state government that has seen its funding restored fully.
I support the Agricultural Experiment Station and am very proud of the fine work they do.  I have recommended an ongoing general fund increase greater than 10 percent.  Employee compensation is increased on top of that.  The legislature has already added still another $500,000 to those dollars.  Beyond these general fund increases, AES federal funds and other funds levels are also much higher today.  I hope you will support that funding rather than support the creation of a new tax, and I respectfully request that you sustain my veto.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dennis Daugaard
