Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 275.

This bill authorizes the Anne Arundel County Sheriff to appoint a Chief Deputy who
shall serve at the pleasure of the Sheriff.

Senate Bill 358, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 11,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 275.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
