Re: MD state government - one of the worst in the country. said by jc100: I am not saying they are right, but my guess is that to lay this fiber, they have to dig. IE they will be disturbing said wetlands by having to dig up areas and lay the fiber underground. No, MD is running a trunk that will then service rural communities. The opposition is correct in that they can run the fiber along roadways that already cut through said wetlands, basically disturbing nothing. This isn't about protecting wetlands. It's about the state wanting the money (believe me, they need money) and the people running it not wanting to pay the fee since there's no impact. I suppose it could open up a door for circumventing environmental protection, but the government could easily submit the proper language necessary to grant a "bye" to utilizing exsiting "cut-throughs" in wetland areas. That, however, won't help Maryland's already struggling bottom line. |
