ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland’s Senate president says there could be some changes to the state’s so-called “rain tax,” but he doesn’t expect it to be repealed.
Republican Gov.-elect Larry Hogan has said the stormwater management fee is one of the taxes he’d like to get rid of.
Ten Maryland counties with large populations impose fees to help reduce pollution from stormwater runoff. Critics of Maryland’s tax code have long been unhappy about the fees. Democratic Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller said Tuesday that he doesn’t believe the state will stop requiring those counties to spend money to protect the Chesapeake Bay from pollutants.

What Miller really is saying the partying with the bay money will go on.All the billions haven't done squat because it doesn't go to clean the bay.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of this idiotic tax which is causing MD to be the laughing stock of the nation.
ReplyDeleteYou will never see a politician offer a "rain credit" for permeable land that can only help the aquifer. The biggest issue with the water that many of the Delmarva Peninsula consume via wells is it comes from several other states and their legislation will never address our issue. I'm in total awe that this legislation was passed and like many others of can attest was a total waste of time and should be abolished immediately.
