To the Honorable members of the

Illinois Senate

95^th General Assembly

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 186, entitled “AN ACT concerning local government.”  I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, Senate Bill 186 allows the reestablishment of a working cash fund without a referendum.

For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 186.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
