[quote=Anonymous][quote]You've missed the point entirely. The question isn't who will give MCPS more funding - I agree that neither will. The issue is that Jealous has indicated support for the Kirwan commission, which would strip MCPS of significant amounts of state funding, that the county would be required to make up (with significant effects county-wide, in schools and elsewhere), while County residents' state tax dollars would be used to support schools elsewhere in the state.

Jealous is a non-starter for me, for these reasons. I'm more liberal than most, and I have no problem being used as an ATM for the rest of the state - but there are limits.[/quote]

[quote]Perfectly said.

When I have mentioned this to others, they say things like "oh I dont think thats what the Kirwin commision is. That cant be" .

Well- it is![/quote]

Montgomery County residents have their heads in the sand about this one. There is so much disfunction within MCPS, a scandal every other week, and such a mess that no one is paying any attention. The MCPS supporters are too busy trying to shut down all the complaints about the curriculum, magnet admissions, overcrowding, sex abode by MCPS employees etc that they are ignoring the real funding threat. There also is deep arrogance that someone else will give them money. I don't know who they think this will be but it will be a shocking wake up call when it happens. [/quote]
