HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 95

The Honorable Ben Lujan and

Members of the House of Representatives

Executive-Legislative Building

Santa Fe, New Mexico 87503

Honorable Speaker and Members of the House:

I have this day VETOED and am returning HOUSE BILL 509, as amended,

enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session, 2001.

Changing the condemnation laws to soften the requirement of disclosure of appraisals by both parties could create the perception that information (i.e., the appraisal) is being withheld, and therefore result in higher litigation costs.

Sincerely,

Gary E. Johnson

Governor
