[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was right to do so. Maryland is in a bad financial place. The credit rating was just downgraded by Moody's. They can't afford reparations right now, and that's even before you get into all the many, many practical problems with reparations at the state level. Spending a few million on a consultant to study reparations would be a waste. [/quote] Where is there information on the fact they would contract with a consultant? The fiscal note for the bill says the Archives would hire one contractual staffer to staff the commission. And generally, the commission itself does the work. The fiscal note says the bill costs $55,000 in the first fiscal year. I don't think it's a good idea, but I don't see cost as a factor. https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2025RS/fnotes/bil_0007/sb0587.pdf [/quote] Yes, it's just one study. How many others are going on? And the primary finding will be, "We need a bigger study."[/quote]
