There’s Something in the Water…

84% of poultry plants in Maryland failed their state inspections, but only a paltry 2% were penalized. This was among the many concerns raised in a hearing with the Secretary of the Environment. My Education, Health, & Environmental Affairs Committee colleagues also learned more about a sewage spill in Southern Maryland. These incidents raise the question– what’s in our drinking water? Massive understaffing is plaguing the Department and exacerbating these issues. Our tough questions should help hold them accountable.
