GOVERNOR VETOED AB 523, THE GOLDEN TRASH CAN AWARD WINNER!

Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman just phoned FR Publisher Jon Fleischman to let him know that the Governor had officially vetoed AB 523 (Liu).  (Read the Governor's letter of response attached below.)

Readers will recall that the FlashReport made the defeat of this measure a priority these past few months.  AB 523 was a prominent fixture on the FR's list of "20 Really Bad Bills" as well as a frequent sighting both on the blog and the main page.  Orange County Republican Party Chairman Scott Baugh won The Golden Pen just this past Monday for his column in the Orange County Register about this atrocious piece of legislation.

The Governor made a wise decision here.  He opposed hard-nosed secularism and a multi-million dollar taxpayer giveaway and supported Orange County's college students. 

Many thanks go to Senator Ackerman for keeping the FlashReport community in the loop!
