The Honorable, The Senate:
I am vetoing Senate Bill 390 in its entirety. This bill directs the Department of Transportation to provide a general obligation bond supported grant of $1.6 million to the city of Marinette for the construction of a dockwall at the Waupaca Foundry. The bill also waives the requirement that the department reimburse a maximum of 80 percent of the total costs of a project.
