The 2010 Maryland General Assembly Legislative Session opened January 13th. Over the next three months more than 2000 bills will be considered, including the State's budget. Negotiating a budget is always a big task but it is rarely such a huge challenge.
With your help, the Maryland LCV Education Fund has fought hard to achieve a seat at the table. Now we need to exercise our collective voice and keep the values of a clean, safe and productive environment front and center as legislators make tough decisions. The economy is on all our minds, but we are the ones to remind our legislators that good environmental policy is good economic policy.
Sign up here to receive our Hot List to stay informed throughout the session
During the session we will be fighting for the following priorities:
* Protecting the Green Infrastructure Budget
* Smarter Transportation Choices for Maryland
* Watershed Protection and Restoration Act

Maryland Loses an Environmental Champion |
|
The Maryland League of
Conservation Voters wishes to recognize the life’s work and bid Godspeed to a
champion of protecting Maryland’s environment,
people and the Chesapeake Bay: Edmund “Ted”
Stanley.
We are sad to report that Ted
Stanley, the founder and longtime President of the Town Creek Foundation, passed
away Wednesday morning at his home in Oxford. Many, many people will remember Ted for
his abundant spirit and generosity.
Ted was best known for his simple
but powerful goals of "a sustainable environment" and "a just society and a
peaceful world."
The Town Creek Foundation and
Ted’s family ask that those who wish honor his memory do so by continuing to do
good work in support of his vision.
The Board of Directors and the
staff of the Maryland League of Conservation Voters wish to offer our sincerest
sympathies to Ted’s family and friends and we intend to continue fighting for
the things that Mr. Stanley cared for so deeply.
