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 175.

This bill increases the payment calculation for State aid to municipalities for police
protection based on the number of full-time sworn police officers employed by a
municipality from $1,200 to $1,800 for each sworn officer.

House Bill 679, 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 175.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

Senate Bill 175

AN ACT concerning

State Aid for Police Protection - Supplemental Grant Municipal Sworn

Officer Allocation

FOR the purpose of altering the per capita amount of a certain supplemental grant by
the State to counties and Baltimore City for police protection; altering the
calculation of a certain payment by the State each fiscal year to certain
municipalities based on the number of sworn police officers employed by the
municipality; declaring the intent of the General Assembly; and generally
relating to State allocation of money to counties, Baltimore City, and
municipalities for police protection.

BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,
