BILL NUMBER:  SB 334
  VETOED	DATE: 10/07/2011




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 334 without my signature.

This bill would require that the voter pamphlet list the top five
contributors for and against a ballot measure.  Printing of the voter
pamphlet starts months before an election, so the required
contributor list would only include contributions received more than
15 weeks before an election.  I am concerned that this outdated
information could mislead voters about the true supporters and
opponents of a ballot measure.

The Secretary of State's website already provides up-to-date and
accurate information on all campaign contributions.  It is a helpful
resource for concerned voters.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
