Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 7.

This bill exempts from the sales and use tax vending machine sales of milk, fresh
fruit and vegetables and yogurt.

House Bill 259, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
13, 1999, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 7.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

Senate Bill 7

AN ACT concerning

BY adding to

Article - Tax - General
