Senator James N. Mathias (District 38 - Lower Shore) today praised the appointments of Madison “Jimmy” Bunting, Jr., Robert Mitchell and Jim Rapp to the Task Force to Study Septic Pollution.
“I am grateful we have these qualified citizens to give their time and that the administration is willing to work together on this endeavor,” said Senator Mathias. “By collaborating with the administration, we were able to cross party lines and get people appointed who represent this portion of rural Maryland and speak for an area of this state that relies on septic systems daily.”
The Task Force, which has 29 members, will be responsible for studying the use of septic systems in Maryland, their effect on the environment and their use by Marylanders. The task force contains several members from the Eastern Shore including three from the Lower Shore, County Commissioner Madison “Jimmy” Bunting Jr., Robert Mitchell, the Administrator of the Environmental Programs Division of Worcester County, and Jim Rapp, the Executive Director of the Delmarva Low-Impact Tourism Experiences.
“As discussions continue in Maryland, it is vital that the interests of our rural areas are fully involved in the process,” stated Senator Mathias. “Having Commissioner Bunting, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Rapp on this Task Force, together with others from the Eastern Shore and other rural areas, will at least make certain that our voice is heard as the state moves forward in studying and deliberating this issue.”
Senator Mathias represents District 38, which includes all of Somerset and Worcester Counties and part of Wicomico County on the Lower Eastern Shore. He is a member of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over healthcare, energy, and business legislation. Prior to his election to the Senate, he served the residents of the Lower Shore as a member of the House of Delegates and as Mayor of Ocean City.

Don't know the others, but Rapp has no business being onthis project.
anonymous 9:24, Sure he does. In fact, Rapp has been shoveling crap at the Zoo and has more experience with crap than anyone else I know. He talks crap, he shovels crap, heck, IMHO he's a professional crap artist. This position is right down his alley.
except for 2 or 3, do any of these people even know what a septic system is?
There is more waste going into the water by the Baltimorons in O.C.
3 out of 29 members? Sure, they'll have an impact. Meanwhile, Baltimore, which doesn't use septic systems overwhelms the panel. What a joke!
