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 587 - Anne Arundel County - Nuisance Abatement and Local Code Enforcement - Enforcement Authority.

This bill authorizes the County Attorney or State's Attorney for Anne Arundel County, the Annapolis City Attorney or a community association within whose boundaries a nuisance exists to bring an action in the District Court for injunctive or other equitable relief for abatement of a nuisance.

House Bill 1344, 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 587.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
