Senator Mike Miller – Green Schools Legacy
Cecil Whig Letter to the Editor by Laura Collard, March 2021
With the recent passing of former Sen. President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., we lost a well-respected leader of state government, the nation’s longest-serving state Senate president, a deal maker and a lover of Maryland. What you may not know is that one of the last pieces of legislation that he passed through with a unanimous majority in the Senate and exceeding a two-thirds majority in the House was the Maryland Green Schools Act of 2019.
Miller, through his support of Maryland Green Schools, set in place funding to give capacity to asmall non-profit to grow the program and to increase the number of students who will be given the information that they need to ask questions, find solutions, and make a difference in Maryland and beyond.
Thank you, President Miller, you have made a lasting impact on Maryland citizens and the environment.
Laura Johnson Collard, MAEOE
