Senate approves doubling of flush tax for most of state

Areas not in Chesapeake, coastal watersheds exempted from increase
by Danielle E. Gaines, Staff Writer

The measure is one of Gov. Martin O’Malley’s (D) legislative priorities for the year....

...In a last-minute change, the Senate approved an amendment from Sen. George C. Edwards (R-Dist. 1) of Grantsville that would exempt any properties not located in the Chesapeake or coastal watersheds from paying the increased tax.

Those areas the westernmost portion of Garrett County and possibly some areas on the shore that drain directly into the Atlantic Ocean would continue to pay the $30 annual fee.
