President vetoes progressive bills that would have drained budget of zl. 5 mln

President Aleksander Kwasniewski has vetoed a number of bills and acts in the past few weeks that would have cost over zl.5.3 billion to implement. The rejection of the proposals is bad news for certain social groups and entrepreneurs who will now not be able to take advantage of them. The president disallowed such laws as child benefits for families with many children, amendments to income tax laws, insurance acts and others. Currently there are 50 other bills waiting for the President's signature. (Rzeczpospolita, p.B1) A.K.
