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 593.

This bill provides that in Frederick County a plaintiff or holder of a certificate of sale is
not entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred within four months after the date of
a property tax sale.

House Bill 1092, 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 593.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
