Brazil Lula Vetoes Spending Limits for 2010 Budget, Estado Says

Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula
da Silva vetoed 20 items in the guidelines for next year’s
budget that sought to curtail government spending on public
works, O Estado de S. Paulo said.
Lula also vetoed a measure that would have limited the
government’s ability to increase investment under its so-called
Growth Acceleration Program, which is comprised of
infrastructure spending on ports, roads and energy projects, the
Sao Paulo-based newspaper reported, citing the official gazette.
