It's sad that the state is focusing on advisories rather than cleaning up the pollution in the Patapsco and holding polluters accountable. There is no reason that the Patapsco can't be just as clean as the rest of the Chesapeake, and the entire Bay should be cleaner. It's time to stop prioritizing industrial expedience and state cost over our environment. It's also time to stop adding additional contaminants to the overburdened Patapsco and its communities.
Thank you!
