County budget includes 7.5% increase in rain tax

From County Executive Leggett's recommended budget:

My FY17 recommended budget assumes a $95.00 rate for the Water Quality Protection Charge, a $6.60 increase from last year’s rate of $88.40.

It's only $6.60 but it's also a 7.5% increase.  

Will you be receiving a 7.5% raise this year?

Are your savings or investments earning 7.5% this year?

If you are retired, will your pension go up by 7.5% this year?

If you are receiving social security, will your social security income go up by 7.5% this year?

Why does Montgomery County charge far more in rain tax than any other county?
