Ehrlich will hold public hearing on BGE bill to help make veto decision

Gov. Robert Ehrlich announced that he will hold a public hearing next Monday or Tuesday to decide how to act on the Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. rate bill the General Assembly enacted earlyThursday.

“Lawmakers fell short of their obligations to BGE customers. I have grave reservations about a plan that forces 1 million Marylanders to pay $109 million in interest while giving back to BGE $220 million that I had secured for customers,” Ehrlich said.
