... that despite fracking being banned in the state, Maryland officials support the Eastern Shore Pipeline, which carries fracked gas? Source: Support pieces from two state senators: [1][2]
ALT1:... that critics have called the Eastern Shore Pipeline "an insult and an injustice"? Source: "said Field. 'But to also kind of just brush aside the issue that this pipeline brings to the local community is an insult and an injustice to those communities...'" [3]
