INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Strom-Martin

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2000

   An act relating to the Humboldt Bay Harbor District, and making an
appropriation therefor.

      (Approved by Governor September 25, 2000.  Filed with
Secretary of State September 27, 2000.)

   On this date I have signed Assembly Bill No. 2016 with a
reduction.
   This bill would appropriate funding to the Humboldt Bay Harbor
district to be used for navigation improvement and safety projects.
Normally I oppose such local expenditures, however, the northern
region of the state is experiencing unique economic difficulties.
This bill would provide one-time economic relief for one of the major
regions of the state with an economy that is not thriving.
Therefore, I am signing this measure and reducing the appropriation
to $580,000.
