The National Security Agency is based in Fort Meade, Md., and is currently building a new computer center there that will be cooled with recycled wastewater from Howard County, Md.
The National Security Agency’s headquarters in Ft. Meade, Md., will go dark if a cohort of Maryland lawmakers has its way.
Eight Republicans in the 141-member Maryland House of Delegates introduced legislation Thursday that would deny the electronic spy agency “material support, participation or assistance in any form” from the state, its political subdivisions or companies with state contracts.
The bill would deprive NSA facilities water and electricity carried over public utilities, ban the use of NSA-derived evidence in state courts and prevent state universities from partnering with the NSA on research.
State or local officials ignoring the NSA sanctions would be fired, local governments refusing to comply would lose state grant funds and companies would be forever barred from state contracts.
The bill was filed as emergency legislation and requires support of three-fifths of delegates to pass. It was referred to the chamber’s judiciary committee.

Please include fuel sales for generators, and encourage neighboring states to do the same. Restrict any fuel shipments to the facility as well
what a tragic comedy this nations is in ...to bad that the md Democrats do not want this to happen
It will never happen in the communist state of maryland.
I can think of other agencies that this should be done to. Let's start with the EPA, they do more harm to the country than other agency. Also cut off dept of energy, they are worthless, than dept of education, they have no business meddling in something that should be left up to the states.
If we want to solve any problems the first thing to do is impeach Obama, as long as he is president we will continue to have problems in every branch of government because the corruption starts at the top with him.
Cut of water to the IRS while you are at it.
Nice gesture though.
WON'T HAPPEN and if any of you think so, you don't deserve to breathe the same air as me...
This is just a show to get you to feel like they did something to stop it kinda like how Boner said he would fight and help stop the defunding of ACA which what? didn't happen exactly...
They have so much money they can kill or bribe anyone so don't think for one second this will even put a hamper on the NSA... They can re run water from some other place if need be...
You all are so damn gullible that there is no hope left for the sane to even combat this crap...
All I can say is, soon, very soon you all will get your just do... The govt will make sure to show you their appreciation for the lake of brain power in the terms of making you a slave... Nice prize isn't it...
The state of MD is the best place for NSA headquarters to be. The communist liberals in our state government will never support such a bill. MOM would not do anything to threaten his presidential bid based on being more liberal than Obama. However, I am proud of the small minority with the guts to stand up fight evil. The American Revolution started in similar fashion.
They always miss the alternate power source.They always will.Take a close look at that building & study each panel.They can't be shut down unless struck by a missile.
