BILL NUMBER: AB 289 VETOED DATE: 09/30/2010 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 289 without my signature. This bill would direct the expenditure of federal funds without going through the regular budget review and development process. This budget process is designed to ensure both the Administration and the Legislature can provide input regarding the way in which funds are spent. For this reason I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
