Its a gimmick. The sewers used to be paid from our city property tax. But the Dems upstate figured out a way to get more tax money out of the "rich and propertied" ---/s.... State law now mandates that the city separate the charge for sewers and they call it a "fee"----So, now one gets property tax and sewer fee-- and I guess that's supposed to make people think that somehow a "fee" is not a tax. -:)
Good luck in Maryland.
Thanks. We TAX everything in Maryland :)
