analysis that "the bill is overbroad and its intended purposes could be more
appropriately served by a change in the Board's regulations," eliminating any risk of
unintended consequences.
Finally, in a separate letter dated May 17, 2005, Ms. McDonald states her intention to
provide the Board with new regulations that will return the fees to the 1994 level of
$50 for all spur channel projects. Spur channels are dredging projects that provide a
single-family residential lot with access to a main channel dredging projects
sponsored by political subdivisions. It is my understanding the sponsors' goal with
Senate Bill 1005 was to protect citizens who purchase licenses for spur channels. I
pledge to work with the sponsors of Senate Bill 1005 to address their concerns
through the Board and regulations we promulgate.
For the above stated reasons, I have vetoed Senate Bill 1005.
Very truly yours,
