VETO MESSAGE ON SSB 6090

January 19, 2018

To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning herewith, without my approval as to Section 1034, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6090 entitled:

" AN ACT Relating to the capital budget."

Section 1034, pages 48-49, Office of Financial Management, Higher Education and State Facility Financing Study

This appropriation directs the Office of Financial Management (OFM) to study financing options for the construction of higher education facilities. Although there are merits to studying this topic, OFM would like to collaborate with the Legislature on developing the scope and methodology. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 1034.

For these reasons I have vetoed Section 1034 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6090.

With the exception of Section 1034, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6090 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Jay Inslee
Governor
