Many Marylanders are seeing record high gas bills this year because of a little known Maryland program called STRIDE
In 2013 Maryland lawmakers created the STRIDE program to fix leaks in certain gas pipes. At the time, no one anticipated it would result in utilities building entirely new gas systems and costing Marylander tens of billions of dollars, but that is exactly what has happened
I sat down with Maryland’s People’s Counsel David Lapp to talk about how the STRIDE program got so far out of hand, and what can be done about it.
Every time I hear David Lapp talk about how much we are paying for STRIDE and how ineffective the program is I am floored. The numbers truly boggle the mind.
