Analysis: Maryland climate plan is comprehensive but lacks short-term legislative strategy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:15 GMT

By most accounts, the Maryland Department of the Environment’s plan outlining the policy actions required to dramatically reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions is innovative and ambitious.But the 98-page document, released during the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s, lacks a cohesive short-term legislative strategy for how Maryland can meet its climate and clean energy goals. More importantly, it does not lay out concretely how the state can begin generating about $1 billion a year needed to implement the plan. That’s leaving lawmakers and environmental advocates scrambling to develop a battle plan less than a week before the 90-day General Assembly session.“There are some parts of the plan that are strong and some parts of the plan that are less developed,” said Josh Tulkin, executive director of the Sierra Club’s Maryland chapter. “The question is, what now?”The plan was released, on schedule, before the end of...

DeSantis’ State of the State address might be as much for Iowa voters as it is for Floridians

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:15 GMT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ State of the State address on Tuesday is supposed to be about Florida’s future. Iowa, though, is more likely at the front of his mind.The speech kicking off Florida’s annual legislative session comes exactly a week before Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses, and DeSantis has been spending much more time in the Hawkeye State than the Sunshine State in recent weeks.So it won’t be a surprise if his sixth State of the State is as much a message to Iowa voters as it is a forecast of his continued vision for Florida.“He will definitely say the state of the state is strong. He has to at least check that box, but I suspect he’s going to use his State of the State address as his last-ditch effort to pitch to national donors and to voters in Iowa,” House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell said. “He’d rather be on the ground in Iowa than he would be in Florida.”It was hardly a secret DeSantis was...
