I cannot believe that The House Environment and Transportation Committee voted 14-7 to kill the bill to repeal the "rain tax" ("House panel kills Hogan's stormwater fee repeal," March 6). This was one of Gov. Larry Hogan's platform issues about reducing taxes that helped get him elected, and was the obvious will of the people. I want to know who the 14 people who voted against this were so we can make sure they are no longer in the position of making decisions for us. There is not one county that does not have a waterway that empties into the Chesapeake Bay, yet only 10 counties are saddled with this ridiculous tax. And the tax is not even uniform for the counties it is imposed upon. Governor Hogan was correct to try and kill this tax, yet once again the powers-that-be in Annapolis have ignored the voters.
