flush tax passed

[javasaurus]

A new flush tax will be added to Marylanders this year, and I really can't complain about this one. Each home that feeds into a septic system or sewer line will be assessed $2.50 per month, for a total of about $1 billion per year, earmarked for upgrades to water treatment plants to reduce nutrient feed into the bay. I think this is great, but I fear that (based on previous experience with Maryland legislation) that the $1B will end up in the general fund within 5 years, or that normal funding for such things will be cut, since they have their own special tax now. Remember when the Maryland Lotto was supposed to support education?
