BILL NUMBER:  AB 2202
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2202 without my signature.

This bill states the intent of the Legislature that funds
appropriated from the Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply
Act of 2012 be consistent with the strategic plan for the New River
Improvement Project (Project) as developed by the California-Mexico
Border Relations Council.

This bill is premature.  After the bond passes in November 2012, the
author can do more than just state the Legislature's intent, he can
actively fight to ensure the bond funds are spent consistent with the
Project's strategic plan.  And I encourage him to do so at the
appropriate time.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
