A New Jersey state senator has introduced legislation that would levy a tax on tap water in an effort to fix the state’s aging pipes.

State Sen. Bob Smith, a Democrat, suggested adding a “user fee on water consumption and water diversion" in his proposed legislation.

The tax would add 10 cents for every 1,000 gallons of water used in a home, which would amount to an increase of approximately $32 per year to the “average” water bill, Smith told WNYW-TV.

New Jersey, another state in a fiscal mess like Illinois or Connecticut.

If an entity exists, Dems will find a way to tax it, and/or regulate it, or confiscate it for their advantage.  (RINO's have been known to do the same at times!)

This is why the Internet was making them salivate so much under MAObama, and at the same time consternating them: Soooooo many ways to tax it, yet so difficult to micromanage for their benefit!
