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 978, entitled “AN ACT concerning finance.” I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation. However, House Bill 978 arbitrarily hinders the competitive bidding process.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 978.
Sincerely,
ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH
Governor
