BILL NUMBER:  SB 928
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 928 without my signature.

This bill requires the Governor's Office of Business and Economic
Development to open a trade and investment office in Mexico City.

I agree that trade with Mexico is of significant economic importance
which is why I led a trade mission to Mexico City in August and
hosted the President of Mexico in Sacramento shortly afterwards.

We are working directly with the Mexican government and the business
community on increasing bilateral trade and other initiatives.  I am
not convinced we need a legislatively-mandated trade office to
continue our growing partnership with Mexico.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
