Gov: Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Annapolis

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, in an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation, addressed the surge in energy prices, including gasoline, which has impacted the DMV area significantly. Governor Moore indicated that the state can hold data center companies accountable regarding rising energy costs and simultaneously provide rebates to Maryland residents.

He was also questioned about legislative efforts in Annapolis, specifically a push by some Republicans for a gas tax holiday. Moore did not explicitly support this idea, instead noting that there is no clear roadmap from the president to effectively lower costs.
