VETOES

When the State embarked on the school construction
program, it was for the purpose of assuring the
construction of adequate school facilities to meet the
State's existing and future needs, and to lift from the
subdivisions the heavy debt burden associated with such
capital construction. It was, and is, not for the
purpose of relieving the subdivisions of their obligation
to maintain the facilities in accordance with applicable
building, fire, and health codes.

The enactment of this bill will either divert large
sums from the basic object of the program or saddle the
State with an enormous new burden which, at the present
time, it can ill afford,

For these reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 1020.
