HARRY HUGHES, Governor

2233

At the present time, I see no need to expend the
additional funds required to increase the membership of the
Commission nor do I see any justification for changing a
system which has functioned well to date.

For these reasons I have decided to veto Senate Bill
580.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Honorable James Clark, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 582.

This bill increases the State share of funding for
compensatory education.

House Bill 1695, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 14, 1979, accomplishes the
same purpose.
