Maryland Devotes More Money to $#!*

Maryland approves $17 million in construction grants for Blue Plains sewage plant upgrades
Maryland’s Board of Public Works has approved $17 million in construction grants for the Blue Plains sewage plant, the largest single source of nitrogen pollution entering the Chesapeake Bay.

The Department of the Environment says the grants approved Wednesday will help pay for upgrades that will cut nitrogen discharges by 83 percent...
When they say "will help to pay", it makes me wonder how much Maryland is contributing compared to the District and Virginia.  However much, it is the right thing to do; if you're helping make the $#!*, you should be helping to clean up the $#!*, too.
