BILL NUMBER:  AB 1671
  VETOED	DATE: 08/27/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1671 without my signature.

This bill would require a Governor to fill a vacancy on a county
board of supervisors within 90 days, and if no appointment has been
made by that time, grant the authority to appoint a replacement or
call a special election to the county board of supervisors.

I am not convinced that this bill is necessary.  Current law already
allows counties the ability to adopt a charter by a countywide vote
that provides alternative procedures for filling a vacancy on the
board of supervisors.  If a county wishes to change the manner in
which a vacancy is filled, that is the more appropriate manner in
which to accomplish such a change.

For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
