"Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday vetoed an East Bay lawmaker's bill to ban per-signature pay for ballot-measure petition circulators.
SB 168, by state Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, would have forbidden paying ballot measure petition signature gatherers on a per-signature basis, which she said would reduce fraud by reducing the temptation to pad out petitions with bogus names.
In his veto message, Brown wrote he understands the potential abuses under the current system but sees two flaws in Corbett's bill."
