To the Honorable Members of the
Illinois House of Representatives
95th General Assembly
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 5022, entitled “AN ACT concerning local government.” I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation. However, it is my belief that additional compensation is unnecessary for these trustee positions.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 5022.
Sincerely,
ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH
Governor
