All kinds of wild numbers are floating around about the cost of school reforms recommended by the Kirwan Commission on education and how to pay for them.
The new chairman of the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee, Howard County’s Guy Guzzone, sees a way forward by phasing in the recommendations without tax hikes – at least for the moment. [The legislature presiding officers told the Washington Post’s Erin Cox that no hikes were planned in the state income, sales or property tax.]
“If you’re going to spend all this money, you want to see results,” Guzzone said in an interview [in December]. “What I believe by now at this point is that we have the resources right now to get this going. We have the resources to see improvements along the way.”
“And we’re going to keep checking. And every time we check and realize that we’re succeeding and we’re reaching the next level of success, we can say, OK, let’s figure out how to fund that next level. I think that’s the right way to think about it.”

And today I just contracted with Bates Moving and Storage to move my household to Florida. And People in Annapolis wonder why.
ReplyDeleteThis Kirwan Commission is a con job and they know it since they stated "phasing in the recommendations without tax hikes - at least for the moment". What a con job / snow job by the Democrats including their buddy Hogan "the Democrat". Tax Payers need to see through this lie. Taxes will be raised as soon as it has been instituted / phased in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lie they say no tax increase then at the end they admit they will raise taxes. How stupid do they think we are. That includes the Democrat Hogan.
ReplyDeleteThis will be as big of a crock of #*@* as Common Core.
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: since we all know where the problems are regarding public schools, why not admit that diversity and affirmative action are abject failures in every respect and segregate for the benefit of both blacks and whites. It is the only viable answer and I realize that the truth is inconvenient, but we all know from fifty years of past performance we are on the wrong path.
ReplyDeleteAnd when they do not get results and the violence continues to escalate and staffers continue to be arrested, then they will come back and demand more money.
