To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

93^rd General Assembly

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 1085, entitled “AN ACT in relation to groundwater.” While I support the study of the State’s groundwater supply as a comprehensive and long-term approach to water supply management in Illinois, due to the State’s diminishing revenues, we do not have the money available to fund the study at this time.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
