Comments on: Maryland Doubles Down on Electric School Bus Boondoggle https://marylandreporter.com/2025/07/18/maryland-doubles-down-on-electric-school-bus-boondoggle/ The news site for government and politics in the Free State Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:19:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 By: I.

The facts are that Maryland invests over $100 million annually on rate relief for consumers with funds from the Strategic Energy Investment Fund, and the state budget for FY26 calls for even more to be spent in this manner in the coming year.

Electric school buses are hardly experimental. School districts all over the country are switching, and some are earning money during the summer months by monetizing their bus batteries, essentially renting them out to the local utility for grid services. Why do you want to hold back the school districts of Maryland?

People keep voting the same type for Montgomery county MD nothing will change until they vote a person who truly cares about the tax payer not the party they belong to

They don’t respect the taxpayers. Continuing to fund a failed policy like electric school buses doesn’t make sense. Don’t make taxpayers guinea pigs.
