[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a MoCo resident and would rather my tax revenues go to education (even, gasp!, if it goes to supporting Baltimore schools) than expanded highway lanes and corporate welfare to Marriott to move down the street. [/quote] This isn't about allocating money for education away from transportation. Its about taking education funding away from Montgomery County and giving it to Baltimore instead. Your non-federal taxes are collected by the state and then re-allocated down to the counties based partly on how much they contributed and other factors. In the Kirwan deal, Montgomery County and Howard would have their education funding cut by up to 70% and have to make up the shortfall with additional local taxes or local county-based cuts in MCPS, fire, police, etc. Do you not understand this part? [/quote] Can you show where people are cheering having school funds moved to Baltimore?[/quote]
