BILL NUMBER:  AB 3
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 3 without my signature.

I fully support the intent of Assembly Bill 3 to train low-income
workers, people adversely impacted by the recent historic recession,
and disadvantaged members of our population for good paying
occupations in the California emerging green economy.  My
Administration is currently working with the California Workforce
Investment Board and its Green Collar Jobs Council (Council) toward
these ends.  At my direction, the Council's membership includes key
stakeholders from education, labor, state agencies, private industry,
economic development and philanthropic entities.   I believe it is
unnecessary to legislatively establish additional mandates on
existing efforts to accomplish these objectives.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
