BALTIMORE, MD - Joining a coalition of 13 Attorneys General, the California Air Resources Board, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Attorney General Frosh today submitted a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) demanding the immediate withdrawal of an order issued on now-departed EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s final day in office. The order effectively suspends the EPA’s 2016 Glider Rule for a year. The Glider Rule mandates that most engines installed in “gliders” – new heavy-duty truck bodies outfitted with refurbished or rebuilt pre-2010 highly polluting engines – meet the same emissions standards applicable to all newly manufactured engines. In a memorandum dated July 6, 2018, the EPA committed to take no action to enforce the Glider Rule’s annual manufacturing cap of 300 gliders per company. This cap is meant to protect our air from the excessive smog-forming and particulate-matter pollution emitted by outdated engines.
“Pruitt’s last act is an unhappy ending for people with asthma, emphysema and other cardiovascular health problems,” said Attorney General Frosh. “Our air will be dirtier and our health will suffer if Pruitt’s order allowing this pollution is permitted to stand.”

Why is Frosh allowed to waste the State of Maryland tax dollars, while Hogan is cutting Senior retiree's medical benefits. Where is Hogan at protecting senior retiree's benefits. Hogan constantly allowing these socialist Democrats bully him around. Why does Hogan not admit he is a Democrat.
