Leo Burroughs: "Gov O'Malley is the Biggest Phony!"
from: William Hughes
At a press conference, on Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, activists demanded that the Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (BGE), roll back its electric rates to 2006 levels and for it to grant “immediate rate relief.” BGE is a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, (CE). The event was held in front of the office of the Public Service Commission, a state regulatory agency located in Baltimore, MD. The “Maryland Coalition for BGE Reregulation” sponsored the press conference. Leo Burroughs is one of its leaders. He was sharply critical of elected Maryland politicians for their do-nothing conduct in this matter, particularly Governor Martin O’Malley. Burroughs labeled him, “the biggest phony.” Burroughs also announced a “new Petition drive.” A similar social justice effort was recently staged by activists in the Washington, D.C. area against the electric utility giant, PEPCO.
