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 343 - Anne Arundel County - Sheriff's Salary - Equal to Captain of the Police Department.

This bill increases the salary of the Sheriff of Anne Arundel County to the highest rate in the pay scale for a captain in the Anne Arundel County Police Department.

House Bill 302, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 11, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 343.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
