How they voted: Amending Constellation deal
Baltimore Sun
April 3, 2008
The Senate voted to amend the $2 billion settlement between the state and Constellation Energy Group to require that any new power plants built in Maryland would offer to sell their electricity first in-state, and be subject to Public Service Commission regulation.
The amendment, offered by Sens. E.J. Pipkin, an Eastern Shore Republican, and Jim Rosapepe, a Prince George's County Democrat, carried 27-18, with one not voting and one excused. The bill is SB 1013.
Proponents argued the amendment would set the state on course to correct its nine-year-old vote to deregulate electricity generation, while opponents warned it could scuttle the settlement with Constellation.
