Md. won’t fund Pennsylvania’s clean water goals for Bay, Hogan says

A week after Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan complained to the Environmental Protection Agency that Pennsylvania was lagging behind in meeting clean water goals, he told reporters there’s no “tiff” between the two states.

But Hogan, who chairs the Chesapeake Executive Council, said at the body’s meeting Thursday in Oxon Hill that Maryland would not fund Pennsylvania’s efforts to reach clean water benchmarks.

“We’ve invested $5 billion in cleaning the Bay, and we’re not going to be able to handle the sewage problems in Pennsylvania.”

The governors of five other states — Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, New York and Delaware — are also on the council.

Hogan you are talking through both sides of your mouth. Marylanders are being taxed or tax dollars used for this program. You are tightening regulations on our Farmers and our septic systems. Hogan you need to quit being 2 faced for your political causes.
