The House Environmental Matters Committee gave an "unfavorable" report to HB106, which would have repealed the "Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act of 2012." Sponsored by Del. Michael A. McDermott, a Republican representing Wicomico and Worcester counties on the Eastern Shore. the measure had the backing of 24 other GOP delegates.
About 15 tractors of various types paraded past the State House on Feb. 12 to protest the law, which they contend has depressed their land value and reduced the borrowing power they need to continue farming. That was the day the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee held a hearing on a companion repeal bill introduced by three Republican senators from the Eastern Shore and Frederick County. With the House bill scotched, the Senate measure is likewise dead.

i hope everyone here has the funds to put in a new septic/drainfield because you're going to need it if the time comes.
you can thank cane and conway in wicomico county for not supporting wicomico county citizens regarding this bill. you can also thank pollite, prettyman and hall for not signing a letter to help support mcdermott's bill in the house.
yes; we really have great leadership representing us here in wicomico county.
this bill is NOT good for our county and that's the bottom line.
don't anyone on this blog try to reason by saying it was for the environment because this is B.S. (excuse the pun)...
