Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 134.

This bill creates the Maryland Economic Development Assistance Fund within the
Department of Business and Economic Development to expand employment
opportunities in the State by providing low-interest loans to businesses in eligible
industry sectors.

Senate Bill 134.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
