O’Malley Still Weighing Signature Or Veto On Bill To Delay Somerset County Wind Farm

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s final scheduled bill signing ceremony came and went Thursday with no word on what he plans to do about legislation that would delay — and perhaps effectively kill — a proposed wind farm in Somerset County.

While O’Malley (D) has no more signing ceremonies planned, aides said that state constitution gives him until the end of next week to decide whether to veto the legislation, as environmentalist have urged, or to allow it to become law.

“The governor has not made a final decision on the bill,” spokeswoman Nina Smith told reporters following a morning ceremony at which O’Malley signed more than 200 other bills passed during the legislative session that ended last month.

It is rare that I would agree with an Environmentalist, but this is one case where I agree.. VETO the damn thing. This push for more costly alternative energy is NOT helping the middle class. It is making us pay more and taking more money away from what we need to be spending it on..
