Members of Maryland?s U.S. House of Representatives? delegation joined their Senate colleagues Wednesday in introducing federal legislation that will give state governments the right to veto the location of a liquefied natural gas facility.
Democrats C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, District 2, Elijah Cummings, District 7, and John Sarbanes, District 3, introduced the House legislation one day after Maryland?s two senators introduced a matching bill that would strike a provision in the federal energy act that gives a commission the exclusive authority to determine LNG siting.
