Library veto step in wrong direction

Did anyone here that big "sucking" sound?
That was the vacuum left by all of the free public libraries rushing to move their surpluses into capital reserve accounts from their general fund account.
Gov. Chris Christie has decided to conditionally veto A2911. In reading his requested revisions, I find that he is not only allowing for libraries to move their surpluses into capital reserve accounts (as the East Hanover Free Public library
is doing), but also is now allowing for the creation of an additional 20 percent surplus in their general account. I believe this is just wrong and is hurtful to our communities' economic well being.
I ask that everyone call their state senators and assemblymen and ask them to vote "no" to the conditional veto and instead try to override Christie's veto in support of the original bill (A2911).
I consider myself a fiscal conservative and am seriously starting to doubt where our governor stands by some of his recent decisions on "Obama-care" and cap and trade issues.
