planning, as witness the catastrophes that have recently
overtaken New York City and several other State and local
governments. Maryland has remained on a firm, stable,
and solvent basis in part because those who govern it

the abuse of the power than I welcome its benefits.
For these reasons, I have decided to veto House Bill
621.

in his capacity as Acting Governor on May 17, 1977,
accomplishes the same general purpose. What caused me to
opt for the Senate Bill was the fact that, with respect
to medical expenses incurred by the injured party, Senate
Bill 205 merely raises the maximum amount recoverable
