Summary: In our December edition of Midday on the Bay, environmental reporter Rona Kobell presents case studies in failed planning and bad ideas that haunt people and places in the Chesapeake region today: The unleashing of a home-building frenzy on Kent Island without a public septic system; the construction of a highway over the Jones Falls in Baltimore; the design of a stormwater system that protects our basements but delivers loads of pollutants to our rivers and streams. Plus: The significance of a fisheries commission decision to cut the Atlantic coast harvest of menhaden by 20 percent.
