BILL NUMBER:  AB 101
  VETOED	DATE: 10/04/2011




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

Maintaining the quality and affordability of childcare is a very
important goal. So too is making sure that working conditions are
decent and fair for those who take care of our children. Balancing
these objectives, however, as this bill attempts to do, is not easy
or free from dispute.

Today California, like the nation itself, is facing huge budget
challenges. Given that reality, I am reluctant to embark on a program
of this magnitude and potential cost.

I am returning Assembly Bill 101 without my signature.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
