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 127 - Task Force on Resource Based Industry in Maryland - Membership, Staffing, and Reporting Requirements.

This bill modifies the membership of the Task Force on Resource Based Industry in Maryland to include the Executive Director of the Maryland Food Center Authority and three economic development officials from rural counties.

House Bill 165, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 127.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
