BILL NUMBER:  AB 254
  VETOED	DATE: 10/01/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 254 without my signature.

This bill would eliminate two currently authorized off-cycle election
dates from state law.

Earlier this year I signed SB 415 which will consolidate most
off-cycle local elections with established statewide elections, with
certain exceptions.

While I share the author's desire to boost turnout in local
elections, I am hesitant to restrict local governments from availing
themselves of the full election authority contained in SB 415.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
