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 426 - Alcoholic Beverages - Wholesaler's Licenses.

This bill repeals the prohibition against a wholesaler's licensee operating two locations in any one county or in Baltimore City.

House Bill 348, 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 426.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
