BILL NUMBER:  AB 1728
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1728 without my signature.

The Levine Act was narrowly crafted to apply to local government
entities whose membership includes individuals who are not elected
directly by voters.  Expanding the Act to one subset of special
districts, namely water boards, would add more complexity without
advancing the goals of the Political Reform Act.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
