1973] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES 25
The General Assembly has heretofore recognized that members of the
Department have problems which are uniquely different from civilian
personnel. Consequently, in 1966, the legislature established new grievance
procedures for the Department. § 16-12. Other provisions of the subtitle
similarly act to protect the rights of these members. There is no evidence
to suggest that the present system fails to achieve its intended purpose.
Conversely, there is no evidence to suggest that this purpose could be
better accomplished by the placement of the Department within the City's
Municipal Employee Relations Law.
Placing the Department within the provisions of a collective bargaining
act would best be considered if and when the General Assembly should
decided to enact a State-wide employee relations law covering State agencies
and other State instrumentalities.
For the foregoing reasons, I have decided to veto House Bill 1129.
Sincerely,
MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.

of Baltimore City (1969 Edition, being Article 4 of the Public Local Laws
of Maryland), title "Baltimore City", subtitle "Police Department", to fol-
low immediately after Section 16-40 thereof and to be under the new subtitle
"Employee Relations", to provide that the Police Department of Baltimore
City and members of the Department may be included within the coverage

Employee Relations".
Shall the bill pass notwithstanding the objections of the Executive?
