EOPB meets with Chris Van Hollen


On March 20 three representatives of Eyes of Paint Branch met with Congressman Chris Van Hollen and his aid Phil Alperson. We provided a brief introduction to our organization, highlighted the uniqueness of the Paint Branch watershed, and discussed the likely Inter-County Connector study. We emphasized that any ICC study needs to be an open and objective evaluation of the facts, and include better land use alternatives that we believe will effectively address the region's traffic congestion problems while preserving our forests and streams. We hope that this is the beginning of an ongoing relationship.
