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 466 - Caroline County - Sheriffs Salary - Increase.
This bill raises the annual salary of the Sheriff of Caroline County from $45,000 to
$49,500.
House Bill 447, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
11, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 466.

Sincerely,
