The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 343 - Cecil County - Public Facilities Bonds.

This bill authorizes the County Commissioners of Cecil County to issue up to $8 million in general obligation bonds for construction, improvement or development of public facilities. The date of maturity cannot exceed 30 years.

Senate Bill 92, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 25, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 343.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
