Hate to break it to you, but a rain tax was already passed here in Houston, Texas about a year or so ago. A lot of people that voted for it were unhappy when they found out how much their bill went up. The new funding is to be in its own fund so that it can't be tapped for other general uses and is only supposed to be used on drainage improvement projects. They already had taxes that were supposed to support that purpose, but those all got funneled away to something else of course.
