The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 1.7 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 316.

This bill eliminates a redundant reporting requirement of the Department of Fiscal
Services relating to local government pension systems. The bill also substitutes the State
Retirement Agency for the Department of Budget and Management as a source for the
Fiscal Services report.

House Bill 410, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 8,
1997, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 316.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
