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 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 575.

This bill allows Frederick County or any municipality in the county to grant a property tax
credit against county or municipal taxes imposed on real property leased to a nonprofit
school and used exclusively for primary or secondary educational purposes.

House Bill 1090, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on this
date, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 575.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
