Honorable Marvin Mandel

Speaker of the House of Delegates

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21204

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 82 and am returning it to you.

This bill would remove the power of appointment of members of the
Board of License Commissioners of Baltimore County from the Governor
and vest it in the County Executive of Baltimore County.

When a Board License Commissioners was initially established in
Baltimore County, the Board of County Commissioners was given the
power to appoint members. Upon the adoption of Charter Government
by the County in 1959, the power of appointment was transferred to the
Governor of the State, where it has since remained. To again shift
the power of appointment at this time would bring into question the very
balance and stability of institutions that Charter Government is designed
to establish, and would interject partisan politics into a vital and significant
governmental agency.

For these reasons, and because of the undesirable and unsettling
effect of such action on other counties in the State, I am compelled to
veto the bill.

Sincerely,
Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
