TO THE MISSISSIPPI STATE SENATE

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR SENATE BILL 2680

I am returning Senate Bill Number 2680: "AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 57-73-25, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, WHICH PROVIDES AN INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYERS SPONSORING SKILLS TRAINING FOR EMPLOYEES, TO EXTEND THE DATE OF REPEAL ON SUCH SECTION; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES." without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

On March 13, 2006, I signed into law House Bill 745, which is identical to Senate Bill 2680. Therefore, there is no need for Senate Bill 2680.

Respectfully submitted,

Haley Barbour

Governor
