legislation passed this Session to provide additional funding for local police
departments. Senate Bill 130 and House Bill 611, which I will sign tomorrow, improve
the State Aid for Police Protection Fund by increasing State funding from $1,800 to
$1,950 per sworn officer employed by each qualifying municipality in FY 2009. This
will result in an increase in municipal police aid of over $235,000.
For the above stated reasons, I have vetoed Senate Bill 497.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
