(NEWS) Schwarzenegger Vetoes Bill Seeking Companies' WWII Roles

"California governor says while his sympathizes with Holocaust victims, suggested law 'needlessly places the state in a position of acknowledging the activities of companies during that time'.

California 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.

Under the measure, companies vying for a piece of California's $45 billion high-speed rail project would have to reveal any involvement in transporting people to concentration, prisoner-of-war, labor or extermination camps during World War II. They also must report whether they took remedial steps for their actions or paid restitution to victims."
