at certain times you might not need to hire for all the hours but only you know. Businesses that now operate in secure areas, such as through window tray or enclosure would see crime increase as doors would have to open to let attendants out. We value customers and employee’s health and wellbeing; this bill would force an employee into harm’s way, and possibly set the store up for robbery. Where would these employees come from? You unemployment rate in America. The bottom line is a bill like this could put some locations out of business, raise prices to cover cost, loss of volume because of cost. Prince Georges is not an island, and all roads would lead to cheaper gas in other locations . Squeaky Wheel Gets the Oil – make that call or email now. Kill the bill before it goes to Annapolis or at least without P.G. legislative committees backing. Delaware Finalizes Clean CAR II Regulations cannot find any now and Maryland has the lowest

County, member locations deal with it every day but what this bill proposes could not only put dealers out of business but increase crime. As written now, the bill would cost a location over $2,200 a week in payroll and taxes, not counting any benefits at $15.00 minimum wage. Finding employees LOL. This is early and Senator Watson could be gaging the reaction to his proposal and finale version could be different. I think this bill could change substantially and not in a good way. The ramification of this proposed bill is such that we need to react and contact P.G. senators and delegate. We do not want this to get approved at PG delegation level which would make it harder to stop at house and senate level. P.G. businesses should contact delegates and senators from their district now. To find yours, click here for link then click on lookup, put your address in and contacts for state delegates and senators that represent you will come up. Talking points, but using your own words, nobody tells your story better then you do. Figure out what your cost would be. 18 hours per day x 7 – 126 Hrs. a week @$15.00. You might have enough help
automakers to deliver an increasing number of zero- emission vehicles (ZEVs) for sale in Delaware. Zero-emission options, including battery- electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles, will be more accessible across the state. Under the finalized regulation, starting with model year 2027, 43% of new cars and trucks sent to Delaware for sale will be ZEVs. The percentage will increase to 82% in 2032. The regulations will expire in model year 2033. This is similar to regulations in some other states. The changes will be phased in over the five-year period and the regulations do not prohibit the sale or use of internal combustion engine vehicles. District of Columbia UST We continue discussions with D.C. DOEE on UST regulations pertaining to the tank age. We sent a letter with a proposal that would protect the environment while giving relief to 30 year replacement regulations. This has been a lengthy process but open discussion on both sides has been good. I will keep you updated. Flavored Tobacco The below alert went out last month on flavored tobacco products. If you have not responded it is not too late. I thought it was worth repeating for those that missed it. The decision could be made shortly so do not delay.
