Comments
Please vote yes for HB900.
Delegate Comstock has made an excellent observation and a reasonable request to establish that funds shall go to Secretary of Natural Resources to clean up the Chesapeake Bay.
Thank you for cleaning up the Ches Bay.
I would suggest that 50% go to transportation and 50% go to the Chesapeake Bay.
