Harford County Executive
David R. Craig, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor
in 2014, will use an auto dealership as a backdrop Tuesday for an attack
on the storm water management fee that opponents have dubbed the "rain
tax."
Craig will appear at the Boyle Buick GMC Truck dealership in Abingdon to criticize the impact of the fee on businesses that have large areas of parking lot and other impervious surfaces. The fee, which finances projects to decrease the amount of nutrient runoff into the Chesapeake Bay, is based on the amount of impervious surface a property owner owns.
Sherrie Johnson, a spokeswoman for the Harford County government, said the news conference is not a campaign event. She said Craig will make an announcement about his plans for dealing with the fees in Harford County.
