Maryland state senator pushes General Assembly to keep state’s coastal bays in mind

Sen. Mary Beth Carozza (R-Lower Shore) loves the Chesapeake Bay, but she continues to make sure her General Assembly colleagues and the public don’t forget about the state’s five coastal bays. Carozza made that case last month when state officials unveiled new license plates that called for protecting the Chesapeake and as well as the coastal bays. She did it again Thursday, during this week’s Maryland Association of Counties summer conference in Ocean City, when she took three of her Senate colleagues on a tour of one of those bays between Ocean City and the mainland.
