Franchot Goes Ballistic Over $1M School Aid Study By Denver Firm

The Board of Public Works approved Wednesday paying $1 million to a Colorado-based contractor that will study whether Maryland schools receive adequate funding.

The irony of this was not lost on Comptroller Peter Franchot, who emphatically protested the decision.

“We’re spending a million dollars of the taxpayers money … to determine whether we’re putting enough money in the classroom for our kids,” Franchot said. “I have visited over 200 schools … I can tell you right now we have a lot of unmet needs in our public schools. I can think of several better things to do with a million dollars than hand it over to an out-of-state consulting firm.”

    The Democratic machine does not like this man, but he is the most practical thinking person in all of state government. No wonder they didn't want to back him for governor.
