BILL NUMBER: AB 677 VETOED DATE: 09/23/2010 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 677 without my signature. Defining projects for renewable energy generating facilities serving school and community college districts as public works when the only public funds are those spent to purchase power produced is an unwarranted expansion of prevailing wage requirements into private works of improvement. Because the payment of prevailing wages results in higher costs, the bill may potentially reduce the number of renewable energy projects undertaken. For these reasons, I am returning this bill without my signature. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
