To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

94th General Assembly

 

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto

Senate Bill 2255, entitled “AN ACT concerning local government.”   Senate Bill 2255 exempts the position of “assistant director of personnel” from the civil service protections of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act.  At this point, I am not convinced that a person serving in this position should not benefit from these protections.

 

            For these reasons, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 2255.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
