In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that would allow a second-class township the option to create a rebate program to offset the cost of any stormwater fee they charge to homeowners.

I have received numerous concerns from seniors who live on a fixed income that the fees charged by a municipality for stormwater are burdensome. My legislation would simply authorize second class-townships the option, not a mandate, to create a program to reduce or waive stormwater fees for qualifying property owners. Each municipality would set their own conditions on qualification if they adopted a rebate program.

Please join me in helping more of our neighbors be able to afford to live in the communities they love.
