The #electricity debate in the #MGA has a new twist thanks to our friends the corporate lobbyists. I see two different issues in the article here (paywalled). 1) Should #naturalgas and #nuclear energy (sorry Trump, #coal is dead) be part of the mix, maybe imperiling #Maryland 's #CO2 #emissions targets? 2) Should regulations permit vertical consolidation of transmission and generation?

I'm for 1) and against 2). Advocates should recognize #Power $$ hits the poor hard.

If you would like young families and seniors to have a greater variety of #housing options in the state of #Maryland , if you're worried about the impact of suburban sprawl on the #climate , or if you'd like to see cities develop the density necessary for mass #transit , consider e-mailing your #MGA reps in support of the Starter and Silver Homes act. This testimony from @ggwash is fantastic. Not everyone can afford a massive house, and those people deserve homes too.

"One audit found that the #Maryland Department of Human Services failed to conduct comprehensive background checks... Seven registered sex offenders were found living in homes with children under court-approved guardianships..."

Glad about the response. I like #WesMoore 's management and I actually kinda do hope he runs for prez (which I never say about a politician), but the thing about lying about having a thesis on his fellowship app is stressing me out.

For young families who can't afford single family homes, and older couples who want to downsize, Governor #WesMoore is shepherding a bill that will soon have a hearing in the #Maryland House of Delegates.

Per @ggwash , please consider e-mailing your Delegates in support of legalizing small homes, especially if they're on the economic matters committee. Passage would also be positive for sustainability and transit in the #DMV

Anti-masking law for #LEO 's moves forward in the #MGA . The Republican's observations about the supremacy clause are probably right; this is going to get struck down. It seems like Folden was open to requiring officers to wear badges.

According to Sen. Smith, there is a "detention center in #Baltimore City where he said people are being held “packed in like sardines” with minimal food and sleep." Scary stuff.

If you are a voter in #Maryland , be aware that mid-cycle redistricting hinges on a vote in the #MGA Senate.

Look up your senator, and check what their current position is on redistricting here: https://redistrictmd.com/?link_id=3&can_id=e0b1b083dc563573aca9c71ca96fb789&source=email-how-to-make-your-voice-heard-in-maryland-redistricting&email_referrer=email_3018117&email_subject=how-to-make-your-voice-heard-in-maryland-redistricting&&

The outcome is in doubt because Bill Ferguson is opposed. #WesMoore is in support, as is Peña-Melnyk, the speaker of the house of delegates. What Darrell Owens wrote regarding Cali's redistricting effort applies here: https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/your-moral-duty-to-vote-in-california

I haven't watched it yet, but this is the footage of the first reading of the Land Value Tax bill in the Maryland General Assembly. HB0078.

Licensing is the most important “safety filter” in online casinos.
Most trusted: MGA, UKGC, Isle of Man.
Weakest: Curaçao (high risk of payout control issues).
Simple rule: strong license = strong player protection.
