“Shockingly, it appears they are paying more in surcharges than they are receiving in benefits…That’s not just unjust but another example of how Maryland’s overall housing disparities continue.” 💯 Let’s pass HB 169 and SB 144 now!

Super impressed with @iamwesmoore’s decision to reconsider an initial nomination to the @MarylandPSC after concerns from legislators and the public. The PSC plays a critical role in overseeing utilities, approving rates, and protecting consumers. #MDGA23
