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 351 - Anne Arundel County - Maryland Therapy and Education Center Loan of 2000.

This bill extends the deadline, from June 1, 2002 to June 1, 2004, for the Board of Directors of Maryland Therapeutic Riding, Incorporated, as grantee, to provide matching funds.

Senate Bill 300, 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 351.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
