Hudson Family Legal Fund Established - Donations being Sought

A legal defense fund has been established to help the Alan and Kristin Hudson family of near Berlin, Maryland deal with huge expected legal bills as they defend themselves in federal court against allegations that they violated the Clean Water Act.

Through the Worcester County Landowners Association, persons can make donations to help the Hudsons with their legal expenses.  With the assistance of the taxpayer supported University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic, the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance has launched legal action against Mr. and Mrs. Hudson for alleged violations of the federal Clean Water Act.  Unlike the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance, no Maryland taxpayer-supported legal clinic is helping Mr. and Mrs. Hudson.  To assist them pay their anticipated legal bills, the Worcester County Landowners Association has established a fund to accept donations of all sizes. 

Coordinating this effort is Mr. Lee Richardson who can be reached at 410-430-2016.

Donations, payable to the Worcester County Landowners Association, should be mailed to:
