Constituent Services Coordinator, et.al. for MoCo, MD Councilmember Kristin Mink. Decades of professional & personal state & local experience across Maryland on a vast array of issues. Personal views only.
My friend, colleague in Councilmember Mink's office and fellow Edison Township native was just elected to the Greenbelt City Council.

He worked his _______ off and he'll prove as adept in governing as he was as a successful first time candidate. Very proud of him.

“For too long, PJM has caved to the interests of fossil fuel generators and utilities that profit from high electricity prices and scarce new generation,” Pinsky said. “That’s, in my opinion, why PJM has slow-walked reforms that would lower prices.”
