Senator Richard D. Roth (D-Riverside) issued the following statement on the Governor’s veto of Senate Bill 251:
“I was baffled to receive a voicemail Saturday morning from the Governor’s office informing me that SB 251, a proposal with widespread bipartisan support in the Legislature, had been vetoed.
“I am even more confused about his veto message. The disabled community and small business owners agreed the tax credit was a wise and prudent part of this proposal. Neither side raised any issue of concern with it over the course of our year-long negotiations.
