The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 932 - Maryland Agricultural Education and Rural Development
Assistance Fund Act of 2000.
This bill establishes a four-year Maryland Agricultural Education and Rural
Development Assistance Fund to be administered by the Board of Public Works. The
stated purpose of the fund is to provide grants to rural regional planning and
economic development organizations, rural community development programs and
advanced technology centers that serve agricultural and natural resources based
small businesses in rural areas to address the inadequacy of funds available in rural
areas for economic and community development and agriculture and forestry
education.
