GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE :
"This bill establishes the State Capitol Sustainability Task
Force to develop and implement a State Capitol Sustainability
Initiative.
"I strongly support sustainability efforts, but creating a
specific task force to work on these goals is not necessary. The
interested parties - including my office, the Lieutenant
Governor, the Senate and the Assembly - can work cooperatively
to improve energy efficiency, water conservation and recycling
without codifying a task force."
