BILL NUMBER:  AB 2730
  VETOED	DATE: 09/22/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2730 without my signature.

This bill directs the Department of Transportation to use the
revenues from surplus property sold in Monterey County towards local
highway projects in the county, rather than transfer the proceeds to
the General Fund.

These revenues are used to pay existing debt service on
transportation construction projects statewide, which is an important
purpose. Maintaining this funding stream to the General Fund is even
more necessary when the state's budget remains precariously
balanced.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
