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.
