This is an issue reminiscent of the Energizer Bunny ads: It just keeps going and going and going. In the latest twist, Governor Gregoire vetoed a section yesterday about continuing to study the different options. Stay tuned as marina rents will continue to bump up periodically during the time before the legislative session begins in early 2012.
Here is a section from the governor’s veto message concerning section vetoes to the operating budget (HB 1087).
Section 308(10), pages 109-110, Department of Natural Resources, Marine Rents Committee
This proviso directs the Department to convene a marine rents review committee in order to explore ways to refine and improve the method for calculating rents for marinas occupying state-owned aquatic lands. A report and recommendations are due to the Legislature by December 1, 2011. Since no funding was provided to complete this report, I have vetoed Section 308(10). I am however, asking the Commissioner of Public Lands to review past studies on this subject, discuss the issue with all affected stakeholders and prepare legislation for next session.
