Maryland taxing residents on rain that hits their property

The reason this tax is being implemented is that the Chesapeake Bay is really polluted, a 14.8 billion dollar project is underway to decrease pollution. In order to fund this, they tax residents. This is passed off by taxing the amount of run off surfaces on your property.

Ex: Buildings, pavements, etc. Basically anything not dirt that doesn't absorb water causing water to run increasing nitrogen and phosphorous levels

Fucking stupid. That's all I have to say. I should start up a petition for Washington to tax everybody for the sun hitting their property next...

wait it this a tax on if rain hits your property or if the surfaces the rain acquires while on your property cause the run off to accumulate nitrogen?

its a tax on all surfaces that dont absorb rainwater.

Still stupid.

I say we just let all the wildlife in the chesapeake bay die of nitrogen poisoning.
