Md. Gov. Hogan faces lawsuit over power plant pollution: By Ray Wallace

The owner of the Charles P. Crane Generating Station in
Middle River had agreed to the coal plant regulations
designed to reduce smog-forming pollution.

Sierra Club, doctors to sue Hogan on power plant pollution

     The Sierra Club and a doctors group said Wednesday that they plan to sue Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration for failing to enforce regulations that compel power plants to limit smog pollution.

     The groups submitted a 30-day notice of their intent to file a lawsuit Wednesday, demanding that the Republican governor put into place clean-air protections adopted in the final days of the administration of Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat....

     "The safeguards that Hogan is trying to gut say simply, 'If you're going to burn coal in Maryland, you need to install and run modern pollution controls by the end of the decade for the sake of our health,'" said Josh Tulkin, executive director of the Maryland Sierra Club. "With today's suit, we are acting in the interest of all Marylanders, to make sure they can breathe healthier air."

    So, Ray, by your own footnotes, the EPA has given Maryland until the end of the decade, which by your own calendar won't end until 2020, and the Sierra club is going to sue Governor Hogan for not implementing the standards within 30 days; four and a half years early.

    Why don't you quit shoving that coal smokestack up our collective a$$es instead.

    If the Sierra Club and Bloomberg are for it, I'm against it - no matter what the subject.
    Glad to see Ray took his mind off the chicken/hexane problem for awhile.
    Gotta feelin' Ray spends his free time excavating a deeper bunker or looking for gas mask sales.

    I was thinking the same thing ranger3325. It got a bit ?-awkward-? last lawsuit when it was shown just how in bed omalley is with the factory farming industry. They wouldn't want that to happen again.
