VETO MESSAGE ON HB 2575

April 1, 2010

To the Honorable Speaker and Members,
The House of Representatives of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning herewith, without my approval, House Bill 2575 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to the expansion of the membership of the capital projects advisory review board."

This bill expands the membership of the capital projects advisory review board which currently has 23 members. Adding a member to an existing board is inconsistent with my policy of reducing boards and commissions in state government.

For this reason I have vetoed House Bill 2575 in its entirety.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine Gregoire
Governor
