BILL NUMBER:  ABX1 2
  VETOED	DATE: 01/06/2009




January 6, 2009


To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill X1 2 without my signature because it is
part of a bill package that does not deal with California's current
budget and economic crisis.  This bill package punishes Californians
by raising revenue without providing permanent and ongoing cuts, does
not create jobs or stimulate our economy, does not allow government
to run more efficiently in California, and makes no attempt to keep
people in their homes.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
