Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement today on the Supreme Court’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA:

Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) joined Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Congressmen John Sarbanes (MD-03), Anthony G. Brown (MD-04), and Jamie Raskin (MD-08) to urge Maryland Transit Solutions (MTS), the group of contractors leading the development of the Purple Line, to complete a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with the project’s construction workers. In their letter to MTS Project Director Terry Gohde, the lawmakers stressed the need for a PLA to ensure quality and reliable work. Maryland workers had previously secured a PLA with the prior contractors on the project; however, the new contractors have not reached a similar agreement. The lawmakers urged MTS to do right by the workers affected by the transition in the contract by reaching a PLA, and requested a written response from MTS by July 12 detailing its efforts to secure an agreement with the project’s workers. 

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey is stunning after nearly 50 years of precedent upholding that women in our country have a right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. I am outraged by the Court’s ruling, which not only strips away the fundamental rights of women to decide their own futures, but also ignores the overwhelming majority of Americans who support the protections provided under Roe v. Wade.
