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
