If it rains, tax it.

Maryland Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley has instituted a tax on citizens for the amount of rain that falls on their property. The tax, officially known as a "storm water management fee," will be enforced in nine of the state's counties. The state legislature passed it in 2012 supposedly to "raise revenue to clean-up the Chesapeake Bay," according to MarylandReporter.com.
