As a young boy in the 1960s and then as a teenager in the 1970s, my parents would drive my three siblings and me to Bayside Beach in Anne Arundel County. Each weekend, family and friends would gather on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
Norman Rockwell couldn’t have painted a more idyllic picture of life on the Bay. Playing king of the pier, swimming, crabbing and fishing were just a few of our many activities.
Yet … 40 years later, swimming in the Bay is something one does with caution and hesitation. Norman Rockwell has been supplanted by the old but infamous TV commercial of the crying Indian of the 1970s who wept at the site of pollution of our national treasures.
The Bay and its tributaries must remain our state’s greatest natural asset. The alternative is unthinkable, so we must act now.
During these trying economic times, we must wisely focus scarce resources. I support measurable improvements to Maryland’s wastewater treatment plants. Improvements must be made without delay.
There is much work to be done, of this there can be no doubt. Working together, we can make Norman Rockwell and the thousands of Indians who once lived on these shores proud.
