BILL NUMBER:  AB 1778
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1778 without my signature.

While I am supportive of efforts to encourage filming and film
production in California, I am concerned that this bill would
restrict the economic growth of many of California's agricultural
industries by negatively impacting the ability of industry funded
programs, such as agricultural commissions and marketing orders, to
promote California products.

Marketing Orders, Commissions and Councils are entities of state
government.  These programs are established by the state with the
support of affected farmers and handlers to engage in numerous
activities including the development, maintenance and expansion of
markets in the United States and other countries. However, marketing
program funds do not come from general taxpayers; rather they come
from California farmers and processors.  As such, it would be
improper to restrict the ability of these entities to spend these
funds in a manner that best promotes California's agriculture
industry.

For these reasons I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
