"Rain Tax" Debate 2015

In 2015, Baltimore County decided to re-evaluate its stormwater management fee- colloquially called the "rain tax" by detractors- partly in response to the 2014 election results. I followed the issue for my paper.


"Bevins, Kamenetz announce proposal for 'rain tax' reduction." Originally published in the East County Times, Vol. 20 No.16 (Jan. 22, 2015), pages 2 + 7.

"Crandell, Bevins prepare for council work session on 'rain tax' reduction proposal." Originally published in the East County Times, Vol. 20 No. 21 (Feb. 26, 2015), pages 2 + 5.

"County Council votes to reduce 'rain tax;' amendment for full repeal fails." Originally published in the East County Times, Vol. 20, No. 22 (March 5, 2015), front page, continued on page 6.

"County Council's rain tax repeal inspires supporters, opponents to rally." Originally published in the East County Times, Vol. 21, No. 6 (Nov. 19, 2015), pages 2 + 6.
