California Governor Knight closed a busy term by signing 2,424 of 2,669 bills from the 1957 Legislature, vetoing 245. The year ends with a record 1.9 billion dollar state budget and spending projected to reach about 2.01 billion for 1957-58, funded largely by reserve measures and savings. The vetoes struck down several tax and spending bills while preserving core measures on education welfare and public safety.
