Maryland Rain Tax
« on: April 12, 2013, 04:37:04 AM »
I live in VA and have family in MD.  I always knew it was a worthless state (with horrible driver to boot).   Sorry to any Marylanders on here.

 I have several friends who have had enough and want to move. One's family has been in MD since the mid 1700s and he's ready to walk away from the family farm because of all the recent stupid legislation.

Yep.  I can't see Virginia doing this at all.  I'm really surprised MD is doing it.  I guess it's one of those strange but true things...  Agriculture run off probably affects the bay the most.  I'm sure that there's plenty of sewage running into the bay as well.

If a Marylander pisses in his yard is going to be taxed twice?

They did the same thing in the city of Colorado Springs. So happy I don't live in the city.
