Commissioners say they can fund maintenance and upgrade to facilities without charging citizens a tax.
In 2012 the Legislature adopted legislation requiring eight counties and Baltimore City to impose a storm water management fee, more popularly known as the “rain tax,” but Carroll County's commissioners say Carroll doesn't need it.
