AGP Executive Report

Last update: 35 minutes ago

Energy Bills: UGI says its purchased natural gas rates won’t change on June 1, but it’s projecting a bump starting Dec. 1—about +2.1% for a typical residential customer. Election Rules: Maryland’s election reform package is set to take effect June 1, including clearer ballot language and limits on “faithless electors,” aimed at reducing confusion and interference. Courts & Guns: The Maryland Supreme Court upheld Montgomery County’s gun authority but narrowed how it can regulate—leaving parts of a “ghost gun” ban open to challenge. Health Watch: After a hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius, more U.S. cruise passengers are in a 42-day quarantine in Nebraska, with officials stressing low public risk while monitoring for symptoms. Community & Culture: Freedman’s State Park was dedicated in Montgomery County, spotlighting African American history and the Howard family’s legacy. Sports & Local Color: Preakness weekend is underway at Laurel Park as racegoers mark the end of an era for Pimlico’s rebuild.
