Rep. Bob Bresnahan hails Trump order ending Chesapeake Bay “rain tax”

Bob Bresnahan, a Republican representative from Pennsylvania’s swing-district 8th, announced that President Donald Trump signed an executive order this week that reverses an Obama-era mandate. The prior order had required states and localities to fund Chesapeake Bay restoration projects, costs that were passed on to property owners. Bresnahan called the move a major tax-relief win for his constituents. He emphasized that the change will directly benefit homeowners in his district.
