The Harford County executive slammed the state legislation that required the fee, however, saying leaders have 'no concept of the financial decisions' of citizens.
In a statement Friday, Harford County Executive David Craig thanked the County Council for working with him to pass a state-mandated stormwater remediation fee, which he called a "heavy-handed mandate." The bill, which The Aegis reported passed the Council on April 16, created a $12.50 fee per residential property, only 10 percent of the $125 originally proposed.
