BILL NUMBER:  AB 756
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 756 without my signature.

While I am supportive of greater transparency in government, this
legislation would be duplicative of current reporting practices and
increases workload and costs to departments at a time when the state
continues to experience a significant budget shortfall.  My
Administration is currently implementing many of the provisions of
this legislation within the existing appropriation of the Department
of General Services to increase transparency.

For this reason I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
