California gov. vetoes law requiring firms to disclose Holocaust role
Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday vetoed a bill requiring companies seeking high-speed rail contracts with California to disclose any role they played during the Holocaust.
In his veto message, Schwarzenegger said he sympathized with the victims of the Holocaust and all those transported against their will during the war. However, he said, "this bill needlessly places the state in a position of acknowledging the activities of companies during that time." (AP)
