BILL NUMBER:  AB 2008
  VETOED	DATE: 09/24/2010

To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2008 without my signature.

This bill would exempt specified employees from being subject to any
furloughs.  While there may be a need to exempt specific employees
from furlough, that exemption should be determined on a case-by-case
basis depending on the exigencies of the fiscal crisis.  By
statutorily exempting certain employees from furloughs, this bill
limits a Governor's discretion to tailor a furlough policy to
appropriately meet the needs of the State.

For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
