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 767 - Carroll County - Public Facilities Bonds.

This bill authorizes the County Commissioners of Carroll County to issue up to $11.5 million in general obligation bonds for the construction and improvement of public facilities in Carroll County. The date of maturity of the bonds cannot exceed 30 years.

Senate Bill 538, 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 767.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
