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 1306 - St. Mary's County - The Sotterley Plantation Loan of 1997.

This bill alters the matching fund provision of the St. Mary's County The Sotterley Plantation Loan of 1997.

Senate Bill 825, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1306.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
