[quote=Anonymous]The biggest chunk is supposed to be for MCPS, since few will argue about cutting funding for schools.  But when you flip the rocks on what MC is spending money on, I believe it's the classic tale of financial mismanagement.

There were a series of Kid Museum payments that adds up to several million dollars, but it's not clear how many kids even went, yet the money could have paid for annual memberships for every child in MCPS.  Millions of Federal ESSER covid grant money was requested to build special needs bocce ball uniforms, refs, courts (when the MCPS videos clearly showed they played indoors in the gym using PVC tubes and traffic cones).  There was a weird incident where the Superintendent submitted a request to pay millions for electric buses in the middle of a contract and had to withdraw the request.  There are some schools rumored to have asbestos, while others are way past due renovation, yet other schools have renovations progressing no problem.

You think giving that hot mess hundreds of millions is a good idea?  I would expect Washington Post articles about it, but given this is Elrich's last term, not sure he really cares?[/quote]
