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 837 - Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission - Minority Business Enterprise Utilization Program MC/PG 102-01.

This bill extends the authority of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to establish and administer a minority business enterprise program.

Senate Bill 815, 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 837.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
