Unfortunately, even after leaving the Democratic Party, she was no better a legislator or less corrupt in the Senate as an Independent. Continue reading

We support the use of hydrogen as an energy storage medium; however we oppose the use of nuclear technologies or carbon-based feedstocks for hydrogen production.” The Green Party Communication Team asked a member of the Green Party of Montgomery County to explain why the Green Party does not support the use of hydrogen as a transportation fuel.
