Six Republican Senators Sell Out on Kirwan

We’ve been talking for months, for years, about the Kirwan Commission recommendations. We’ve talked about how the recommendations would be disastrous for taxpayers, disastrous for students, and disastrous for the state budget. Governor Larry Hogan has rightfully tagged the Kirwan Commission as the “Kirwan Tax Hike Commission” for the Commission’s unsavory sandbagging of taxpayers on the massive tax hikes the commission recommendations will require.

Well, early this morning, in the middle of the night, without public input, during a public health emergency, the State Senate adopted the Kirwan Commission recommendations by a 36-9 vote.

You will notice that there are only 9 votes against the Kirwan Recommendations. There are 15 Republican State Senators. That’s because six State Senators, nearly half the Senate Republican Caucus, voted for the Kirwan Commission.

It is sad that the Eastern Shore has the same rules and regulations as Northern MD. PG county, Montgomery county, Howard county are full of immigrants that need educated and you ALL have to pay. It's time for a split from the northern elites.

Who are they? Why are their names not published? Bet at least three of the Eastern Shore delegation voted for it and I want to know who they are? I am tired of these lying Politians and will vote against them always.

I keep telling you cheerleaders - they don't represent you or me.

They don't care what you think or what you see.

The hanging must begin.

Gosh darn people. 8 comments already and not one person read the article to see that our very own RINO Addy Eckhardt voted for Kirwan. She is a former state employee so this doesn't surprise me. Vote her out!!

I have no children, so I never had any children going through MD's school system. Why should I have to pay any taxes for someone else's kids? Funny thing; I received a letter from Blue Shield, Blue Cross health insurance telling me I was now paying $2.39 a month for abortion. I am a freakin' man!
