Gov. Abercrombie announces what bills he may veto

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Governor Abercrombie Monday released a list of 23 bills that he may veto.

"With the input from many concerned citizens, I have put forward a list of bills that I am considering vetoing," Governor Abercrombie said. "Some of these measures will not work as they are written, despite their good intentions. Many others create additional work for our departments without any funding sources to carry them through. In these austere times, state agencies simply do not have the capacity to implement unfunded mandates that are not high priorities of our Administration."

Abercrombie has until July 12 to make final decisions.
