H.B. 1089

VETOES

May 27, 1993

The Honorable R. Clayton Mitchell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1089.

This bill would authorize the creation of a State Debt not to exceed $200,000, the
proceeds to be used as a grant to the Harford County Government for the installation of
an elevator, sprinkler system, the improvement and upgrading of utilities, and equipping,
repair, renovation, reconstruction, and expansion of the Highland Commons building for
the use as a community center for the citizens of Harford County.

Senate Bill 766, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 27,
1993, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1089.                                                                                      

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
