The Honorable Michael E. Busch
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 1511 - Baltimore County - Arbutus Community Center Loan of 2000.

This bill changes the name of the project, the purpose, and alters the date by which the County Executive and County Council of Baltimore County are required to provide a matching fund, from June 1, 2004, to June 1, 2006, pursuant to Chapter 317 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 2000, as amended by Chapter 168 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 2002, Baltimore County - Arbutus Community Center Loan of 2000.

Senate Bill 910, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 11, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1511.

Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
