Maryland's Republican Governor Larry Hogan refuses to spend $68 million for education in Baltimore City and 12 counties. This is going to mean job loses and cuts which will have devastating effects on Maryland's children.
"Much of the criticism of Mr. Hogan's decision has focused on its effect on Baltimore City schools, which would have gotten an additional $11 million if he had released the GCEI funds. The contrast between the need to do more for the city's children, so clearly demonstrated during the aftermath of Freddie Gray's death, and a decision to shortchange the school system could not be more stark"

'Hogan the Horrible' was elected because of low turnout of voters in MD. He robs one source of funding to pay for another like reducing the toll fees to be popular and at the same time cutting funding from repairing aging bridges and highways.
