Partial Veto Summary:  The governor vetoed two sections of the bill.

Section 408 appropriates $134 million - ($104 million from school trust land revenues and $30 million from state general obligation bonds) - for school construction projects.  Sub-section one restricts the use of the $134 million appropriation to school construction projects funded at the regular state matching rate.  The regular state matching rate averages about 55 percent of the project cost with the balance of the money provided by a local bond issue.  The governor vetoed this restriction, thereby allowing the $134 million appropriation to also be used for "super match" projects which require a 90 percent state matching rate.

The governor vetoed Section 412 and the $126,000 appropriation for Nine Mile Falls School District.  The appropriation would have been used for operating and capital costs already covered by local levy money.  (See VETO MESSAGE)
