What do you know – Maryland’s Democrat A.G. Doug Gansler is starting to look a little bit more like his fellow Democrat A.G. from Ohio, we like to call him flame job, Marc Dann.
He promised to be “the environmental attorney general,” cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay by prosecuting polluters with the full force of the law. But, a year after Douglas F. Gansler took office in Maryland, he’s run into one significant problem.The law.
Most of the contamination that chokes the Chesapeake comes from perfectly legal sources. That fact has changed the tenor of Gansler’s approach: Instead of an “an all-out assault” on polluters, he has been skirmishing at the edge of the problem and lobbying for rules that would give him more power.
