Here's the scoop on the Senate side: All hearings of the Maryland state Senate Committee on Economic and Environmental Affairs are open to anyone who wants to testify. All you have to do is show up and sign in. They want you to sign in no later than 12:40 p.m. for a 1 p.m. hearing. This particular hearing will be held in Room 200 of the Senate Office Building. Haven't heard from the House Committee on Environmental Affairs yet. Now, if there is anyone who is an MOS or ANS official reading this, PLEASE let us know if you intend to testify. I will go to either the house or senate hearings if time permits, doubt I can go to both, and anyone else who can spare the time should attend as well. DISCLAIMER: I will be attending an testifying in my individual capacity, not as the representative of any organization. Ellen Paul
