Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth
June 16, 1979.I hereby certify that House Bill No. 1288, Printer’s No. 340, entitled ‘‘An act making an appropriation under the police power and as a governmental duty to the Department of Welfare for State aid to political subdivisions charged by law with the care of the poor, and providing for the allocation and use of the moneys so appropriated,’’ was presented to the Governor on June 16, 1979, and was not returned within ten days after it had been presented to him, wherefore it has, agreeably to the Constitution of Pennsylvania, become a law in like manner as if he had signed it.

§ 19.354. Bill passed over Governor’s veto.

VETOES
§ 19.361. Prior to adjournment Veto No. 1984-4 of General Assembly.
HB2160…July 17, 1984
To the Honorable, the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:I return herewith, without my approval, House Bill No. 2160, Printer’s No. 2889, entitled ‘‘An act amending the act of March 10, 1970 (No. 66), entitled An act imposing a special tax upon realty of public utilities; providing for distribution of moneys to local taxing authorities in lieu of local real estate taxes; conferring powers and imposing duties upon the Department of Revenue, local assessing and other officials, and public utilities; and providing penalties,’ exempting certain property from the tax.’’
This bill would remove from the scope of the Public Utility Realty Tax Act (Act 66 approved March 10, 1970) the real property of any municipality or municipality authority furnishing public utility service.
This bill would indirectly discriminate against residents of municipalities wherein the public utility service was rendered by public utility corporations, and in favor of the residents of municipalities wherein the public utility service was rendered by the municipalities or municipality authorities. The impact of the tax under this bill would be lacking in uniformity as to all the residents of the Commonwealth, inasmuch as those municipalities having tax exempt public utility service would share in the proceeds of the taxes collected in all other municipalities.
This amendment would also result in a substantial loss of the revenue available to the Commonwealth for distribution to local taxing authorities.
For these reasons, the bill is not approved.
DICK THORNBURGH§ 19.362. Subsequent to adjournment of General Assembly.
December 30, 1984I file herewith, in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, with my objections, House Bill No. 1784, Printer’s No. 3590, entitled ‘‘An act amending the act of June 1, 1959 (P. L. 392, No. 201), entitled ‘An act relating to the retirement of State employes; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto,’ granting credit to certain State employes for certain employment by cities of the second class.’’
This bill would permit certain State employes, who were previously employed by the registration commission of a second class city, to receive service credit for such employment toward State retirement upon payment of back contributions.
This bill would mark a serious departure from the customary definition of State employe, for retirement purposes, and would open the door to any employe of a political subdivision rendering public service in any capacity. There is no justification in law or reason to permit the State retirement program to be a catch-all for any public employe not rendering service for or on behalf of the Commonwealth.
This bill would also confer special benefits on a very restricted class of city employe.
For these reasons, the bill is not approved.
DICK THORNBURGH§ 19.363. Proclamation of vetoes subsequent to adjournment.
PROCLAMATION I, Dick Thornburgh, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, have caused this Proclamation to issue and, in compliance with the provisions of Section 15 of Article IV of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, do hereby give notice that I have filed in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, with my objections thereto, the following bills passed by both houses of the General Assembly at the Regular Session of 1984, viz:
House Bill No. 971, Printer’s No. 1098, entitled ‘‘An act exempting bonds of municipalities and school districts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from taxation within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.’’
House Bill No. 386, Printer’s No. 605, entitled ‘‘An act amending the act of June 1, 1959 (P. L. 392), entitled ‘An act relating to the retirement of State employes; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto,’ further defining the term ‘State employe’ and providing for crediting of certain service in the Philadelphia retirement system to the State system.’’

WHEREAS, Lieutenant Angelo J. Carcaci was called to testify at the time and place set forth but refused on advice of counsel to answer every question asked of him by the committee’s counsel and by the individual members of the committee even though directed and ordered to answer the questions by the chairman of the committee; and
WHEREAS, Lieutenant Angelo J. Carcaci gave no legal reason nor did he invoke his constitutional right of self-incrimination for refusing to answer the questions; and
