VETOES

This bill reduces the Federal funding requirement with respect to
light rail transit projects to 10% and defines light rail transit
as that which is electrically powered and can operate in mixed
traffic with automobiles.

House Bill 505, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 2, 1988, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 314.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 314

facilities.
