[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can't afford NOT to fund Kirwan.  The schools are in trouble.  You want businesses (and I'm not talking about the retail-on-the-bottom of condos businesses,  I'm talking Fortune 500 or 1000 businesses) to move to Montgomery County? The schools must improve. Otherwise, no business is coming here.

It's a lot less expensive to educate a child, then put them in jail later. Not to mention, a good education leads to a good job, which leads to those same children paying more in taxes as an adult.

[b]Their Kirwan Bill had a stopgap if the county collections dropped. [/b]This is why Hogan, the "moderate" Republican, sucks. He may be a great leader during this pandemic, but I hate every one of his policy decisions.[/quote]

Exactly. The bill has a specific, explicit provision for major drops in tax revenue. But Hogan didn't let that stop him from vetoing the bill on grounds that there will be a major drop in tax revenue. If the pandemic hadn't happened, and tax revenue had increased, he would still have vetoed the bill.[/quote]
