Progressive Income Taxes, Electricity Transmission Cost Allocation, Industrial Stormwater Permit

The County Council is trying to balance new progressive income tax brackets by removing the flat homestead tax credit of $692 that goes to county homeowners when they live in the house they own. Maryland People' Counsel David Lapp explains his complaint against the regional electricity grid operator, PJM, for unlawfully allocating the cost of new transmission projects to Maryland ratepayers. And a group of clean water advocacy nonprofits are suing the state of Maryland over the lax control over industrial stormwater runoff in the state. And more.
