Arkansas Governor Beebe vetoes Senate Bill 130
March 2nd, 2010 - 3:47 am ICT by BNO NewsLITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS (BNO NEWS) – Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe vetoed a bill that would have cost $1.6 million on Monday, the Governor’s Office announced.
Gov. Beebe vetoed the bill in accordance with Article 6, Section 15 of the Arkansas Constitution. He later addressed the Senate with a letter accompanying the veto.
“I believe that we cannot, in good conscience, set a precedent of taking funding from a tenuous source, such as the State Central Services Fund, in order to protect local projects,” expressed Gov. Beebe in his letter.
“The State Central Services Fund supports the core functions of our government, and if it falls short of funding, the needed money is drawn from the rest of our revenue, essentially creating an automatic budget cut for other state services.”
