Ghost Andrew Breitbart's intrepid dick, Matthew Boyle, has broken another important story, and it is that Martin O'Malley, governor of Maryland and your boyfriend, is taxing RAIN. Haw haw haw what a dummy, Martin O'Malley. Your arms too short to tax with God!
A $300M tax on 6M people is not insignificant - and it's sort of regressive: the guys with ten-acre lawns get off relatively easy. Shopping centers and big-box stores are gonna get hammered especially hard. Still, you do want the people who generate the waste stream (and those who benefit from generating it) to pay for treating it. A gas tax would be a good addition to the mix, along with higher vehicle registration fees.
They use the mathz on the satellite photos. In any event, they don't need to make a special set of photos -- Google already has your back yard mapped out, with or without your daily activities in evidence.
In most places, you do get a break or tax credit. I don't know if that's the deal in MD, but it probably is. (New construction has been required to manage runoff for many years, at least in Montgomery County.)
Did you know that snark was a capital offense among BlightFarters? Someone is yanking the chain of one of the mouth-breathers, and elicited this wingnugget:
<i>&quot;I call you out and you respond with snark.. little sh!ts like you were the weasel snitches in school who got the crap beat out of them on a regular basis... When the time comes, I hope it&#039;s me that gets to stand you up against a wall and have you shot.&quot;</i>
Second Amendment uber alles! I have to say, there is one nice thing about the nutter blogs: it makes it easier for the FBI and SS to keep tabs on the crazies.
So how does he propose to pay for cleaning up the runoff water? Whining about it doesn&#039;t exactly advance the discussion . . . although I suppose the grandstanding buys him some votes.
The same thing was tried in the St Louis area, to repair failing sewers. It was struck down in court since it was deemed a tax and had not been approved in a referendum, as stipulated by the Hancock Amendment ( <a href="http:\/\/www.moga.mo.gov\/const\/A10022.HTM" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.moga.mo.gov/const/A10022.HTM">http://www.moga.mo.gov/cons... ). As I recall, opposition was led by shopping mall owners - who were required to pay for their large, impervious parking lots.
The comments on BlightFart, as always, are brilliant:
<i>&quot;Back when America was made up of people who were 99.5% of white European extraction, mostly Christian, we were one people. Common people, common background, common goals, common beliefs... Now? We&#039;re a polygot mess of trash blown here from all over the world... &quot;</i>

Not crosshairs - surveyors&#039; marks. Actual surveyors&#039; marks.

Hides the property from the sattelites -- but not good for the runoff calculations.
You wind &#039;em up, they make the noise. Like clockwork.

Pollution, tasty crab cakes, soaring cancer rates. Anybody in the mood to connect dots today?
More like charging you more if your house is made of wood, flunks inspections, and lacks sprinklers and smoke detectors.
All they need to do is use the same tinfoil they wear on their heads and cover their land with it.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can&#039;t take the sky from me!
