Re: rainwater. We’re already taxed that here in Portland, Maine. It was proposed to help pay for improved stormwater catch basins to prevent polluting the Casco Bay. However, at the council meeting a couple years ago, I asked what would happen to this rainwater fee once the stormwater improvements have been paid for. Crickets chirped. So it’s a tax/slush fund.

Put a handful of well educated, thoughtful, diverse, elites in a large room with a big table (maybe on a dais) and wait for the needless, self-serving, crappy, new laws.
