THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T GET INVOLVED

Rain has a price. A last ditch attempt to delay a new stormwater fee failed this week and now Maryland residents could get an unexpected bill this summer.

When rain falls, pollutants get flushed into the Chesapeake Bay and because of that the fees will go into effect – a move critics are slamming as a “rain tax.”

The Watershed Protection and Restoration Program was signed into law in April 2012. It established “a system of stormwater remediation fees and a local watershed protection and restoration fund,” according to the Maryland Department of Environment’s Water Management Administration.

Residents in Montgomery, Prince George’s and Charles counties already pay a similar fee but it will soon apply to residents and businesses in all of Maryland’s 10 largest jurisdictions:

LETS GET TOUGH ON COMMUNICATION!

Anne Arundel County
Baltimore City

Baltimore County
Carroll County
Charles County
Frederick County
Harford County
Howard County
Montgomery County
Prince George’s County

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SIDE YOU ARE ON, STUPID IS STUPID!  TAXING RAIN FALL???  REALLY???

BE A FRIEND TO EVERYONE, JOIN IN AND LETS STOP AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING AND STOP THE GROWING GOVERNMENT.  LET GOVERNMENT BE HELPFUL NOT WASTEFUL.
