  • 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.

  • The Honorable Ryan Zinke US Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240
    The Honorable Ryan Zinke US Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Zinke, As a united group of 227 state legislators representing 17 coastal states, we are writing to you to oppose the Proposed National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2019-2024 (Proposed Leasing Program). This proposal seeks to exponentially expand oil and gas exploration, production, and drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico, which for many of us, represents the first time in decades our coasts would be exposed to such development. While these oil and gas reserves are technically recoverable, we urge you to consider the repercussions, as you have done so in Florida, to local and regional economies and ecosystems. We are encouraged by your recent action to remove Florida’s coasts from the Proposed Leasing Program, a decision based on potential threats that offshore drilling would impose on coastal tourism, the recreational economy, and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend upon it. Given that one state has been removed from the program, we strongly urge you to grant other states the same opportunity to protect their economy and coastal and marine resources. Coastal tourism, fisheries, shipping, and defense are not only critical economic drivers in Florida, but are the underpinning of all U.S. coastal states. NOAA reports that coastal communities alone provide 45 percent of our nation’s gross domestic product. Furthermore, California, Oregon, and Washington combined represent the fifth largest economy in the world, a level of prosperity that would not be achieved without their ocean-dependent industries.

  • Iam Pleased to Serve As President of Women Legislators of Maryland
    Untitled-1 1 12/21/2018 1:23:26 PM Untitled-1 2 12/21/2018 1:23:28 PM A Message President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated I am pleased to serve as President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated. WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018. WLMF and the Women’s Caucus recognize and appreciate the leadership of Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr., President, Maryland Senate, and Michael E.

  • Dear Members of the Board of Education: We, the Undersigned Montgomery County Elected Officials, Encourage the Board to Reevalua
    Dear Members of the Board of Education: We, the undersigned Montgomery County elected officials, encourage the Board to reevaluate its policy regarding excused absences for students involved in civic engagement. We understand that in September 2018, board member Patricia O’Neill introduced a policy proposal that would have allowed MCPS students to be excused up to three times per year to participate in civic engagement activities. Per the initial proposal, the student’s parent, the school’s principal, and the sponsoring organization would have had to approve the absence. In January of this year, you tabled the proposal. In the wake of the recent wave of climate protests, we hope the Board will reopen its examination into this important topic. We agree with our county’s student activists who argue that civic engagement supplements, rather than impedes, their classroom studies. Indeed, several studies have concluded that civic engagement activities yield greater learning and higher graduation rates. By applying academic concepts in the real world, students shift from being knowledge receivers to being idea creators. The research is clear: Civic engagement teaches higher-order skills—including critical thinking, writing, technology, and coalition building—at more advanced levels of aptitude. These skills will serve our students well not only in college and their careers, but throughout their lives, making them engaged citizens capable of advocating for what they believe in. Unfortunately, the prospect of an unexcused absence poses a significant hurdle to students who would otherwise participate in, and reap the rewards from, civic engagement. These challenges disproportionately affect students of color, for whom unexcused absences or missed schoolwork carry harsher consequences.

  • Maryland Public Service Commission 6 Saint Paul Street, 16Th Floor Baltimore, MD 21202 May 15, 2020 Chairman Stanek and Members
    Maryland Public Service Commission 6 Saint Paul Street, 16th Floor Baltimore, MD 21202 May 15, 2020 Chairman Stanek and Members of the Commission: We, the undersigned members of the Maryland General Assembly, appreciate the important work of the Public Service Commission to implement the state’s clean energy mandate, especially during this difficult time. Due to an unprecedented and unforeseeable set of events, we are reaching out to you on an issue of significant importance and urgency. We are writing to urge the PSC to operationalize our legislative intent in the Clean Energy Jobs Act of 2019 (CEJA) by asking developers bidding into the Round 2 Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Credit (OREC) process to submit contingency bids and including these contingencies in the PSC OREC orders. As you are aware, in December 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a plan to subject certain energy generation technologies to a high and arbitrary Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) requirements in their bids in the PJM capacity market. As a result, technologies like offshore wind are likely to be excluded entirely from this market. The MDGA had created a work group during the 2020 Session to consider how best to respond to this order, to protect the development of clean energy resources in Maryland and to protect ratepayers. However, the global health crisis led to an early adjournment of the Legislative Session and the work group was not able to consider statutory changes to respond to the MOPR rule. As the Commission is currently preparing to consider bids for Round 2 of the OREC opportunity, we are concerned that with the MOPR order, as it currently stands, offshore wind developers would not be able to include expected capacity payments in their bids and this will result in a lower installed nameplate capacity than would be possible with capacity payments.
