Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 830.

This bill amends the Glendale Bridge Loans of 1986, 1988 and 1995 by allowing the
grantees to use funds received from the State in lieu of a federal grant for the
replacement/rehabilitation of the Glendale Bridge, as a match for State grants.

House Bill 1256, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April

- 4616 -
