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 341 - Virginia-Maryland-District of Columbia Joint Legislative Commission on Interstate Transportation - Regional Transportation Authority Study.

This bill requests the Virginia-Maryland-District of Columbia Joint Legislative Commission on Interstate Transportation to study the creation of a regional transportation authority.

House Bill 10, 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 341.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
