  1. Federal agencies expand urban rivers effort

    Federal officials announced Friday a major expansion of the &ldquo;<a href="http://www.urbanwaters.gov/">urban waters</a>&rdquo; initiative they kicked off in Baltimore nearly two years ago, adding 11 new blighted water ways around the country to the seven they&rsquo;ve already pledged to help clean up and redevelop, including the Patapsco River.

  2. Federal innovation a matter of perspective

    The federal government has an innovation problem — or does it? The answer depends on whom you ask. Federal employees surveyed over the past three years have had a declining view of government innovation. But that doesn't mean Uncle Sam doesn't...

    Something is killing the honey bees of Maryland. Close to 60 percent of the managed hives died last fall and over the winter — about twice the national average, according to the state bee inspector and local keepers. "I had a healthy hive that...

  4. Chesapeake Bay's health said to be improving [Letter]

    Editor: A recent Aegis editorial about the health of the Chesapeake Bay ("Stormwater fee set low in Harford the best of a bad situation," April 23) is [off base]. Certainly the job of restoring the Bay is far from finished, but the Aegis is incorrect in...

  5. Sentencing of local polluter raised awareness of environmental hazards

    For years, the ill effects of improperly dumped hazardous wastes was a hot topic in the media. However, it seems as though only big name corporations that get caught disposing colossal amounts of waste get covered today. Candy Thomson's recent report shows that there are still concerns when it comes to toxic dumping locally ("Baltimore man sentenced in hazardous waste case," April 29).

  6. 'Rain Tax' an excuse for government to take more control [Letter]

    There has been much in the news following the end of the 2013 General Assembly session about Gov. Martin O'Malley's "Rain Tax."
    There has been much in the news following the end of the 2013 General Assembly session about Gov. Martin O'Malley's "Rain Tax." This law was actually passed in 2012, and at the time I called it the worst bill passed that year. It forces Maryland's...

    "What's the second paragraph?"
    "What's the second paragraph?" That is my boilerplate response when someone suggests a column idea to me. "Yeah. Right. But where do I go from there?" Not every topic is worth 700 words. So, today I will offer a few words on recent headlines in the...

  8. Neuman's reckless stormwater veto

    Anne Arundel County's proposed stormwater fee provided newly appointed County Executive Laura Neuman with her first leadership test, and she failed. Her veto puts the county at risk of sanctions if it does not enact a fee structure by July 1, yet she appears to have no plan for complying with state and federal requirements for reducing the polluted stormwater that is washing into the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The County Council should override her reckless decision without delay.

  10. Trying to change minds in smart-meter debate

    Concerns about utility smart meters are frequently dismissed as tinfoil-hat paranoia. But it's not so easy to dismiss Jonathan Libber.

  11. Take back the planet, and not just on Earth Day

    For over 40 years, Earth Day has sent a powerful message: that each of us has both the capacity and the duty to support the environment that sustains us. This is certainly a message that dedicated conservationists can get behind, but what about everyday people with busy lives, kids to raise and jobs to keep? For many, Earth Day has become a day of celebration rather than an urgent call to join a movement.

    Harford County Councilman Joe Woods said he would support taking the state to court over a newly-imposed stormwater management fee, which he has aggressively opposed. Woods told the Greater Fallston Association Thursday that he had originally proposed...
