VETOES

The 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 802.

This bill permits the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore by ordinance to fix the rate of interest on
overdue City property taxes.

House Bill 1774, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 802.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Senate Bill No. 821

Maryland Horse Racing Council to the Maryland Racing
Commission; providing for the termination of this fund
on a certain date; and generally relating to the
establishment of the Maryland Horse Racing Council Fund
creating the Maryland Horse Racing Council and
providing for its purposes; placing for a period of
time a portion of uncashed parimutuel ticket moneys
into a special account; authorizing the Department of
Economic and Community Development to make grants to
the Council from the special account subject to a plan
submitted by the Council and approved by the
Department; requiring the matching of State grants;
