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 200 - Transportation - Distribution and Use of Revenues.

This bill increases funding for the Transportation Trust Fund in order to support expenditures under the Governor's mass transit initiative by shifting certain revenue sources that are currently directed to the general fund.

House Bill 309, 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 200.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
