33. Senate committee shoots down proposed stormwater repeal
The push against Maryland's
stormwater mandate got a
little weaker Thursday as a
Senate committee reported
it shot down a proposed
repeal of the mandate.
The Senate Education,
Health and Environmental
Affairs Committee voted 7-4
to give an unfavorable report
to Senate Bill 5.
The bill, introduced by Sen.
Allan Kittleman, R-Howard,
would repeal a requirement
that Maryland's 10 largest
jurisdictions assess
stormwater fees.
Anne Arundel County is one
of the 10 jurisdictions, and
has set fees at $85 for most
single-family homes.
Critics have dubbed the fees
a 'rain tax.'
The four senators who voted
for the bill were Sens. Ed
Reilly, R-Crofton, Bryan
Simonaire, R-Pasadena,
J.B. Jennings, R-Baltimore
County, and Roy Dyson, D-
St. Mary's.
But seven Democrats,
including Sen. Jim
Rosapepe, D-College Park,
showed their heavy hand in
the committee, voting
against the bill..
