Hi Jeremy
I read your article and this should not come as a surprise to you or anyone else. For YEARS - I have been trying to bring - environmental over-regulation - to the forefront - as MD regulations have all but made it impossible for businesses to co-exist. And the business exodus speaks volumes - as our tri-county area has DOCUMENTED well over 100 renown businesses that have fled our area. Many moguls like Halliburton, Campbell's Soup, Chesapeake Bay Plywood, Grumman, Mrs. Paul's kitchen - shoot - these are just a few of hordes of businesses that have fled our region because of over-regulation. Even now - as I write you there is an effort underway in Annapolis to further hamstring the construction industry with even more draconian environmental laws.
And I blame allot of the exodus on none other than The Daily Times - for trying to mask the exorbitant numbers of business closures. Your paper has played a complicit role in this economic catastrophe.
As draconian as slashing the clean-up budget may seem - it is necessary to help put some of residents back to work.

It would not bother me if funding for Chesapeake Bay Foundation were cut 100%. No matter the state of affairs the CBF always says the bay is in sad shape. They know that if they were to say their efforts at cleaning the bay showed any results then they would be out of business.
When will this useless waste of newprint go away. Not soon enough.
That's telling The Daily Slime. Talk about FAKE news, The Daily Times has it.
Yes. They just raised their rates. What a waste!
Did this person actually write the DT and sign his name?
As thin as the paper has gotten, I simply do not know why they won't shut down entirely.
DT still exists for anything other than eating crabs? WOW!
The entire Gannett publication chain is slanted to the far left. Look at how they reported all through the campaign, touting Hillary all the way up until the election results came-in.
Environmentalists don't care. They don't care if all of the funding for any eco program dried up because of the companies they force out of our state. They never learn that there's a compromise - a happy middle ground - to help both sides.
I'm all for a cleaner estuary and rivers. They are much dirtier than they were 40 years ago. But, some of the regulations on businesses do very little to address the problems. Example: the rain tax...a penalty based on roof square footage. Seriously??? The rain is going into the ground, whether it it hits the roof or the ground. It's not like a roof blocks the water. Who the f*** thought this one up?!! And there are many others like it. I hope POTUS does cut EPA funding.
