More lawmakers join fight against LNG plant

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.
