The Honorable Melvin A. Steinberg
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 242.

This bill extends from 5 to 10 years the period of time for
which certain property tax credits in enterprise zones are
available.

House Bill 430, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 28, 1985, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 242.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
