Well Now Md. thinks it dosen't have enough support for dredging, bouy maint. ice-breaking etc,,so a proposal to phase in by 2016
under 16 $50
16-32 $125
45-65 $250
larger-65$700
 
Which should be listed as a form of personal property tax on your federal form and thereby deductable which will reduce the money allocated to the Federated State of MD which will increase the fee which will be a tax deduction on your federal taxes..........

And somewhere on the state house lawn in Anne Arundel a monkey chases his tail around a flagpole.
 
DNR doesn't even provide any of those services. This is going to drive boaters out of MD (especially those from PA that keep their boats here). And the watermen... Wow. What a way to destroy an industry!

Here's the actual bill: http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/bills/hb/hb1307f.pdf

Use the below link to let the committee know that fees like this aren't warranted and will do nothing but drive boat owners to leave Maryland and keep there boats elsewhere, or get out of boating altogether. And if that happens, Maryland is going to loose a heck of a lot of "revenue" from the recreational marine-related businesses that will fail.
