AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Heat and health: Maryland residents report repeated power outages and say extreme heat is forcing people out of their homes, as the state breaks heat-related death records and communities struggle with reliability. Air pollution guidance: An air-quality expert urges Marylanders to check outdoor pollution daily and limit exposure when smoke or poor air quality spikes. Chesapeake Bay update: Gov. Wes Moore says Maryland hit nearly all 2025 Bay restoration goals, but some watermen dispute whether the numbers match what they see on the water. Data centers vs. communities: At the Maryland Association of Counties conference, candidates and advocates renewed the fight over hyperscale data centers—especially their water, power, and local impacts. Local water protection: Chestertown plans to resume and expand groundwater monitoring tied to an amendment affecting sentinel wells after detections of petroleum-related compounds. Stormwater concern: Howard County is investigating a reported lawn-care hose discharge into a storm drain in Columbia that residents fear could reach the Middle Patuxent River and the Bay. Wildlife safety: A 10-year-old was attacked by a beaver at Seneca Creek State Park; park areas were closed while officials search for the animal. Court ruling: Maryland’s digital advertising tax was struck down, with refunds ordered for big tech firms including Apple and Google. School policy: Wicomico County will go “Bell to Bell, No Cell” starting Sept. 1, aligning with Maryland’s phone-free schools law.
