This must be stopped. Ask Anthony Brown and Larry Hogan what they plan to do to stand up to it.

Maryland is the only state that has a “Rain Tax” — which they say is mandated by the EPA, and non-profits such as churches are not exempt.

“Larry Hogan told residents of a retirement community Tuesday night that he wants to eliminate all state income taxes on pensions before the end of his administration...’We don’t have a revenue problem in Annapolis. We have a spending problem we need to control,’”

The proposed Waters of the United States rule, which would give the EPA jurisdiction over millions of miles of streams across the United States...

This is a lie. The sentence should read:

The proposed Waters of the United States rule, which would give the EPA jurisdiction over every square of ground receiving precipitation across the United States...

| With this rule, they plan to regulate groundwater, runoff, private wells, even what comes off your roof. The remedies are designed to drive you out of your home into one of their "stack-n-pack" sustainable hovels (in which the bureaucrats' pensions are heavily invested). This is tyranny of the worst kind.

That map has serious flaws. An entire River is missing in Southern Maryland. I also don't think they understand much of anything about tidewater estuaries--they are not on their list. I'm pretty sure the Patuxent River isn't fresh that far down.

How can an agency oversee something when it doesn't even know what it is?
