[quote=Anonymous]You're wrong on many things: 1) Yes, Hogan has decreased the MCPS budget. He has withheld funds to MoCo and HoCo from the state’s Geographic Cost of Education Index (GCEI) formula, which provides additional state school funding to the school systems where the cost of education is higher. 2) You say that Maryland provides "only" 20% of MCPS's budget. Well, that budget is 2.68 billion, so 20% of that is a huge amount, unless you have a friend who can donate 536 million to Maryland schools. 3) I'm happy if Hogan raises tolls so my kid won't be one of 28 kids in a 1st grade classroom with a teacher and no aide. Education is our future. People should be encouraged to use mass transit. 4) I would be ok with taxes being raised, if my kid's education were to improve. Taxes are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. [/quote]
