    February 15, 2019 Mr. Paul A. Peditto Maryland Department of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Service 580 Taylor Avenue, E-1 Annapolis, MD 21401 Dear Mr. Peditto: We are writing to you to request that the Maryland Department of Natural Resources reinstate the "Suburban Archery Hunting Corridor" and remove the 15-deer bag limit that now constrains hunters. Several of us wrote to you last year expressing our opposition to the bag limit change and, as you are aware, Montgomery County is experiencing the effects of a serious overpopulation of deer. Deer collisions continue to cost our residents thousands of dollars in property damage and also pose health and safety risks. Our agricultural community sustains crop loses each year because of deer foraging their fields. Homeowners are frustrated by the deer ruining their landscaping. We are also well aware of the debilitating effects of Lyme Disease caused by the deer tick. The number of reported cases of Lyme disease continues to grow with the growing population of deer in our area. Our specific concerns pertain to the current 15 deer bag limits for bow hunters. We support the reestablishment of the Suburban Deer Archery Zone (Zone) and an unlimited bag limit for antlerless deer in the Zone. Suburban counties such as Montgomery County should not be subject to the 15 deer bag limit which is designed to increase deer herds in Maryland’s rural counties. We also support an increase in the antlered deer bag limit from the current 2 deer limit to 6 antlered deer in the Zone. Every effort should be made to humanely reduce the deer population in Maryland.

  • Low Income Household Energy Efficiency Savings Letter
    Maryland Public Service Commission 6 Saint Paul Street, 16th Floor Baltimore, MD 21202 December 17, 2019 Dear Chairman Stanek and Members of the Commission: We urge the Public Service Commission to adopt a low-income energy savings goal as part of the EmPOWER Maryland portfolio. This will complement a policy that’s already made Maryland a leading state for energy efficiency: Our nation-leading 2-percent-per-year electricity savings target enacted in 2017, extending and improving EmPOWER’s previously recognized record of success since 2009. This savings target is one of the pillars of our state strategy to tackle climate change, and it is working as intended by boosting energy efficiency in buildings statewide. However, without a target driving energy savings in low-income homes and buildings as well we lag behind other states in delivering services where they’re needed most. Energy is a regressive cost, hitting those of limited means hardest. And nationally while low-income households dedicate 8% of their annual incomes to energy cost Maryland’s pay 13%. Low-income residents pay 550 percent more as a percent of income than non-low-income Marylanders. Energy is also a substantial cost for building owners and managers, so energy efficiency is a key means of preserving affordable housing. To be clear, Maryland has effective state programs that provide efficiency retrofits to low- income Marylanders: The Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development’s Multifamily Energy Efficiency & Housing Affordability (MEEHA) program, the Low-Income Energy Efficiency Program (LIEEP) and electric and gas utility programs. But at their current pace of energy-efficiency-measure delivery it would take 130 years to reach all 450,000 income eligible households.
