Anne Arundel conservation group lauds county executive, Democratic council members’ environmental agenda; Republicans earn poor grades

A chapter of a Maryland conservation group has given top marks to Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman and two Democratic County Council members for their environmental agenda since being elected. Their Republican counterparts received poor or failing grades. Pittman, a Democrat who made environmental protection a pillar of his candidacy in 2018, received an A grade in the 2020 midterm report card published Monday by the Maryland League of Conservation Voters, a statewide non-partisan environmental advocacy organization.
