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 855 - Harford County - Alcoholic Beverages - Stadium License - Sale of Liquor.

This bill alters the privileges of the stadium (on-sale) alcoholic beverages license in Harford County to include liquor to be sold during events and increases the license fee from $5,000 to $10,000.

House Bill 874, 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 855.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
