Maryland News- Frederick secessionist, Baltimore water bills, and more

Posted on Monday, March 15th, 2010 at 9:24 pm

A Frederick County Commissioner wants his county to secede from Maryland. Wow!

In other Maryland news…

The Water Bill woman sent me the following email:

“The bill to prohibit foreclosures based on unpaid water charges passed committee. The next step is for the bill to go to the Senate Floor.”

She is talking about State Senate Bill 158.  I support this measure because I believe the entire Baltimore water billing process is corrupt. I do not think they legitimately measure water usage at many locations. in my seven years of being a home owner in Baltimore I have received numerous bills that appear to be mathematically impossible. I have heard similar stories from many people I know.   The Water Bill woman documents many examples of questionable Baltimore water bills on her site. I do not believe people should fear being kicked out of their homes because of error prone water bills. If the water billing process is greatly improved then I will reconsider my stance.  I do not see that happening any time soon.

In other news from Annapolis:  The Maryland Reporter is a state politics site that I like to read. Check out their latest podcast about looming controversial state budget decisions.
