To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

95th General Assembly

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 599, entitled “AN ACT concerning local government.”   I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, Senate Bill 599 increases the fees for users, located outside of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, of District storm water services.  

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 599.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
