Sen. Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove of the9th Legislative District have all voted against a bill that would permit a county or municipality to establish and maintain a stormwater utility, which would be authorized to charge fees – commonly referred to as a “rain tax.”

“The last thing struggling taxpayers and small businesses need is yet another government entity that imposes fees,” the members of the delegation said in a joint statement.
