BILL NUMBER:  AB 1999
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1999 without my signature.

This bill creates a tax credit for renovating historic buildings,
which is in addition to a similar credit offered by the federal
government.

While this bill aims to achieve goals I wholeheartedly support, its
cost -- $400 million over a period of years -- is a spending
commitment that should be weighed against other important priorities
in the upcoming budget.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
