err that your veto won't be

a. I have no reinsurance, but
! believe that when the thing
has been presented to them
fully they win not override the
veto.
For example, take q little
county like Garrett County and
this registration fee. They win
get $4,000 directly from the
State treasury. You know they
paid nothing like that into the
State treasury for registra-
tions. It's almost 4 5-l break
for them. And I can't see how
their Senator or their members
Of the Legislature could vote
against giving that money to
the county commissioners.

tiOn fees. y0u contemplate m
