Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 782.

This bill would authorize Dorchester, Frederick and
Prince George's counties to exempt from local taxes property
leased from the federal or State governments and provides
that Anne Arundel, Dorchester, Frederick and Prince George's
counties may provide for payments in lieu of local taxes.

As pointed out in the attached letter from the Attorney
General, the title of the bill does not properly reflect the
provisions of the body of the bill, and the bill is
therefore unconstitutional.

For that reason, I am vetoing Senate Bill 782.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
