Maloney fired the first salvo with his interview with Ry Rivard in the
Daily Mail. The acting governor fired back with his executive order.
I see the press conference as the third salvo. He began by blasting
the EPA (again) over the Spruce permit, and blasted them again later in
responding to a reporter's question. And he assembled a bunch of legislators and
industry officials to surround him at the podium.
Maloney has fired back, charging the acting governor is not showing
leadership.
This will probably escalate by itself. But Chuck's idea of providing
Maloney with the Sierra Club position paper is not a bad one. In the interview
Maloney gave to Ry, he has already come close to supporting some of it.

I'd say this is classic
co-opting.

This order give the
operator the authority to submit a plan, and as long as
the plan meets the
methods approved by DEP, DEP can not deny or reject a
plan submitted by the
operator.
