House Republicans Issue Statement on Democrats’ Energy Announcement

Annapolis, MD – House Republicans today issued the following response regarding the Democratic leadership’s rollout of energy bill credits.

“There was nothing at all new in today’s announcement,” said House Minority Leader Jason Buckel. “The Democratic majority has placed the blame on energy companies and on PJM, as if they have no culpability in the skyrocketing energy costs that have our communities in a chokehold. They are just doubling down on the $80 rebate that will do little to offset the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars Maryland’s families are paying this year in higher energy bills.”

“The Governor talked a lot about fairness today,” said House Minority Whip Jesse Pippy. “What he did not touch on is how unfair it is to our ratepayers that the Maryland Democratic leadership has forced them to underwrite the costs of their failed green energy policies.”
