BILL NUMBER:  SBX1 5
  VETOED	DATE: 01/06/2009




January 6, 2009


To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill X1 5 without my signature because it is
part of a package of bills that does not deal with California's
current budget and economic crisis.  This package of bills 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
