H.B. 350                                                 VETOES

vetoed House Bill 350 - Baltimore County - Democratic Party Central Committee -
Composition and Election.

This bill alters the composition of the Baltimore County Democratic Party Central
Committee to correspond with the recent legislation.

Senate Bill 260, 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 350.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

Governor
