| VETO MESSAGE ON SSB 6342 |
| March 10, 2016 |
| To the Honorable President and Members, |
| The Senate of the State of Washington |
| Ladies and Gentlemen: |
| I am returning herewith, without my approval, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6342 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to private activity bond allocation." |
| This is a worthy bill, but it has preceded the passage of the 2016-2017 supplemental operating budget, which is a greater legislative priority. Until a budget agreement is reached, I cannot support this bill. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6342 in its entirety. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Jay Inslee |
| Governor |
