FILE - In this Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011, file photo, Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler speaks to reporters at the White House in Washington. A federal court is deciding whether the Obama administration's plan to clean up the Chesapeake Bay watershed oversteps legal bounds, an election-year appeal by farmers and 21 attorneys general that could shape future U.S environmental policy. The last of the legal briefs in the case were filed late Monday, April 28, 2014, with Gansler joining with Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia in expressing support for a cleanup that he says is making progress and shouldn't be derailed by outside states with no interest in the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.
