BILL NUMBER:  AB 2592
  VETOED	DATE: 09/18/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2592 without my signature.

When considering the allocation of racing dates, the California Horse
Racing Board actively solicits feedback from the horseracing
community and the public at large.  Often, spirited discussions occur
at the hearings of the full Board, or in the smaller expert
subcommittees.  I am confident that the Commissioners consider all
competing proposals before voting.

Mandating a specific economic analysis before a decision could be
made would add substantial costs to an already complex process
without commensurate benefit.

Sincerely,


Edmund G. Brown Jr.
