This "Crap" is nothing new, it's everywhere! Maryland Considering Flush Fee Hike

Our town charges $250 per year as a sewer fee. It also has the trash and 'recycling' billed outside the taxes. The property taxes go up at an average of over 5% per year. They claim they are now caped at 2%, but that doesn't include the School Taxes. School taxes account for more than half the property taxes without limits on increases.
It is all a big wasteful load!

Fee could triple in 2015

A state task force is considering doubling, and maybe even tripling, the state's flush fee.

The fee for the Bay Restoration Fund is now $30 a year for property owners. The task force is considering recommending a doubling of the fee in 2013, and increasing it to $90 in 2015.

The fund pays for sewage treatment plant and septic system upgrades as well as cover crops that keep pollutants from running off farms into waterways.
