Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1188.

This bill provides that $500,000 from uncashed tickets from bets made into the mutuel
pools of mile thoroughbred licensees shall be granted to the Maryland Million, Ltd., to
support the Maryland Million races. The bill also requires the Office of Legislative Audits
to audit each racing licensee every two years.

Senate Bill 786, 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 House
Bill 1188.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 1188

AN ACT concerning

Racing - Uncashed Tickets - Maryland Million, Ltd.
