A federal lawmaker wants to force the company proposing a liquefied natural gas plant at the Sparrows Point shipyard to identify the people it is allegedly paying to publicly support the project.
Democratic Rep. C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger said he?s introducing legislation in response to Dundalk residents claiming energy firm AES Corp. is paying people to promote the project at meetings and write supportive letters to newspaper editors without disclosure. The law would require the federal agency that will approve or reject the plant to create an online database of lobbyists.
