The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 7.

This bill exempts from the sales and use tax vending machine sales of milk, fresh fruit and vegetables and yogurt.

House Bill 259, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 13, 1999, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 7.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
