Because if nobody deals with the infrastructure to handle storm water it all just winds up in our basements? Honestly it seems like a great use of government spending to me.
But PA already mandates that local governments follow certain guidelines to handle storm water, what this bill seems to be about is wether or not certain tax exempt entities including the state government itself can still be charged to support this.
A better bill would ban stormwater fees/taxes altogether.
Why should people have to pay the government to deal with rain?

Runoff and pollution mitigation are shared responsibilities
