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 849 - Task Force on Resource Industry Business Development.
House Bill 849 establishes a 28-member Task Force on Resource Industry Business
Development to examine the current and anticipated economic development needs of
resource-based industries. Chapter 433 of the Acts of 2000 established the Task Force
on Resource Based Industry in Maryland. It was charged with examining the
financing requirements for Maryland's resource-based industries. Chapter 196 of
2001 extended the task force through January 31, 2002. In its report to the Governor
and the General Assembly, the task force concluded that additional work related to
the economic development of resource-based industries is needed and they
recommended re-establishing the task force under a new name and with the new
agenda.
Resource-based industries are essential to the economy of the State's rural regions
and the State as a whole. I support the intent of House Bill 849, which seeks to find
solutions to the economic development needs of Maryland's agriculture, fishing,
forestry and mining extraction industries. During my two terms as Governor, I have
demonstrated my commitment to this issue through the creation of several
organizations and economic incentive programs targeted at resource-based industry.
On February 24, 1998, I signed an Executive Order creating the Maryland Forestry
Task Force which was charged with developing recommendations for promoting the
economic viability of Maryland's forest products industry. In 1999 and 2000, I signed
legislation establishing and clarifying the "One Maryland" Economic Development
Tax Credit program which provides economic development tax credits for establishing
or expanding certain eligible businesses including mining, agriculture, forestry or
fishing. To further ensure the economic viability of Maryland's seafood and
aquaculture industries, on May 16, 2002 I will sign House Bill 662, which establishes
