HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 56
The Honorable Ben Lujan and
Members of the House of Representatives
Honorable Speaker and Members of the House:
I have this day VETOED and am returning HOUSE BILL
454, as amended,
enacted by the Forty-Fifth
Legislature, First Session, 2001.
This
bill appropriates $1.22 million from the state lands maintenance fund to the
State Land Office for watershed restoration, remediation of contaminated sites
and unauthorized landfills, stabilization of archeological sites and management
of invasive weeds on state trust land. I
have signed into law Senate Bill 326, which appropriates this same amount for
the same purposes. While I support the
purpose of House Bill 454, I believe that a second appropriation is
unnecessary.
Sincerely,
Gary E. Johnson
Governor
