“We helped lower utility bills,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) declared in a New Year’s Eve video recapping the 2024 legislative “accomplishments” of his office and colleagues in the Maryland General Assembly.

Pepco has just informed customers that, beginning this month, their electric bills will be increasing by at least 5%. The reasons? Laws passed by our elected officials in Annapolis.
