Transportation Projects Involved in Veto Override Vote

msa.maryland.gov

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The Maryland House of Delegates is scheduled to vote on overriding two of Gov. Larry Hogan's vetoes.

The House votes are expected Thursday.

One of the measures vetoed by the Republican governor would create a scoring system to rank transportation projects for funding. While it wouldn't prevent the governor from funding a project with a lower score than another, it would require an explanation for the decision.

Another bill Hogan vetoed would change the composition of a commission that nominations members of the Anne Arundel County school board.

The House will need a three-fifths vote, or 85 out of 141 delegates, to override the vetoes.
