County Executive Responds to Commerce Secretary's Decision on LNG

Towson, Md. (June 27, 2008) — Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith issued the following statement in response to Commerce Secretary Gutierrez’s reversal of the Maryland Department of the Environment’s decision to prohibit the construction of an LNG plant in Sparrows Point.

“The fact that the Commerce Secretary conducted a supposedly ‘comprehensive’ review of this complex issue in just a few days tells you all that you need to know about whether or not the federal government is taking its responsibility to protect the Chesapeake Bay and the region seriously. Despite this charade, I can assure the people of Eastern Baltimore County that I do take this issue very seriously and will continue to fight to prevent the construction of this plant. The fact that the federal government would choose to make our country more dependent on foreign energy sources is simply bad national policy, and it poses a serious security risk for the nation.”
