How miserable it was as somebody who loves the Chesapeake Bay to see David Kelsey’s letter concerning the dying Patuxent River, juxtaposed in opposition to the Metro part article “Maryland Democrats have lengthy to-do listing” [both Jan. 11]. The Patuxent, situated totally throughout the state of Maryland, is one in all many tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay. We will’t blame the utter failure to scrub up the bay on some other state or entity — this river’s decay is a Maryland drawback, 100%.

Opinion | Maryland must do its part on Chesapeake Bay cleanup
But regardless of the lengthy laundry listing of coverage targets and the $5.5 billion surplus outlined within the article, the Patuxent and the Chesapeake Bay cleanup had been talked about precisely zero occasions. How can we count on Pennsylvania, Virginia and D.C. to step as much as the plate and do their half to avoid wasting the bay, once we don’t prioritize our personal yard even throughout occasions of an enormous price range surplus? Unhappy.
