As a cancer survivor, why can't Gov. Larry Hogan make the connection between clean water, clean air and healthier people? When I saw that our governor was visiting others who had been afflicted ("Hogan visits sick kids," Aug. 20), I was hoping he would begin to realize that rolling back environmental rules dirties an already-ailing Chesapeake Bay watershed ("Governor will roll back septic rule," Aug. 21).
Asked not long ago about the long-smoldering fight over a 160-megawatt trash incinerator proposed in South Baltimore, Governor Hogan said at a forum that he has "no position on it because I don't have the facts... I'm sensitive to the environment, as long as we can do things for the environment that don't kill the economy and jobs."
Spewing carcinogens into a community and allowing sewage to seep into groundwater that ends up in rivers, streams and eventually the Bay is not being sensitive to the environment or to the health of Maryland's citizens.
