BILL NUMBER:  AB 1043
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1043 without my signature.

This bill adds State Route 43 to the list of interregional routes,
thereby making it eligible to compete for state interregional funds
to cover the costs of capital improvement projects.

However, Caltrans has determined that State Route 43 is not an
interregional route eligible for this funding. Therefore, I cannot
sign this bill.

A better alternative to funding improvements to State Route 43 is to
enact a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution in the
current special session.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
