BILL NUMBER: AB 2663 VETOED DATE: 09/29/2010 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2663 without my signature. I am concerned that this bill could make the state's General Fund cash situation more dire should it become necessary to delay payments to local governments in future years. Vendors, schools, child care providers and many others suffer when the state runs short of cash. It is not unreasonable for local road fund payments to be delayed a few months when other payments are delayed. There is no reason to single out cities that adopt a particular budget calendar for relief. Since the potential for the delays was known in advance of local budget adoption, these cities can make appropriate cash management plans. For these reasons I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
