To: Governor Larry Hogan
Tell Gov. Hogan: Sign the fracking moratorium bill into law!
I urge you to sign HB 449, the fracking moratorium bill passed by the General Assembly with broad, bipartisan support. This bill will protect our environment, our health, and our tourism economy by keeping dangerous fracking out of Maryland through October 1, 2017. We need a fracking moratorium now -- and into the future -- as long as the evidence shows that fracking would harm our communities!
Why is this important?
We are on the cusp of achieving something we’ve never had before in Maryland: a law that would put an explicit, binding moratorium on the dangerous practice of fracking for natural gas. On Friday, April 10, the Maryland General Assembly passed a bill, HB 449, that would guarantee fracking stays out of Maryland through at least October 1, 2017.
This bill, passed with broad, bipartisan support, now heads to the desk of Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, who has not yet indicated whether or not he’ll sign it.
Polling shows a clear majority of Marylanders oppose fracking. Evidence is mounting that fracking pollutes the air we breathe and the water we drink. And research is only beginning to emerge on the long-term health risks.
