S.B. 441                                                  VETOES

This bill alters the requirement for the newspaper publication of information
regarding annual tax sales in Frederick County.

House Bill 88, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 441.

Sincerely,
