Maryland’s Governor and Legislature Just Got So-So Grades on Their Environmental Scorecards - Inside Climate News Two new assessments from the Maryland League of Conservation Voters found the Moore administration’s actions have not consistently aligned with its climate pledges.

PATHETIC! Maryland has A+ potential to be a shining beacon to the nation and the world when it comes to accelerating the transition to affordable, healthy, renewable energy. Yet, our grades for this year were Cs and Ds. We must demand better from our legislators. @ccanactionfund.bsky.social
