First off, he has always increased the amount he gives each year, never decreased.  He just doesn't give as much as MCPS says he should, so the wording of decreased always comes into play.

Student enrollment has also increased. Has state funding increased as much as student enrollment increased? What is the yearly per-student funding from the state? Has that increased, decreased, or stayed the same?[/quote]

BINGO!!!! Hogan didn't even want to pay to fix the heat in Baltimore schools!

Hogan does a brilliant job with PR. He selects actual facts and makes them seem like they represent the entire truth. He conveniently leaves out relevant details of the story (and no - not all politicians do this).

He has convinced Maryland voters who don't check their own facts that he is a moderate when in fact, he is restrained by Maryland Democrats who will not support his right wing initiatives.

Funding for schools almost always goes up when enrollment goes up so let's not pat the guy on the back for doing that, OK? All Maryland governors have done that.

Teachers despise him not just for the awful school calendar but for lack of funding and his cozying up to Betsy DeVoss (who is a national disgrace).

Mostly I have no respect for him because when swastikas were spray painted on elementary schools, he didn't comment for a really, really long time and gave a lukewarm condemnation when forced to comment.

And he lost the ACLU lawsuit over him banning Maryland residents from posting on his public page (which they are allowed to do by law - he does not own the page).

So a guy who won't condemn hate crimes but who bans free speech is no asset for the state of Maryland.

OP - you sound very young ("First off" is a dead giveaway that you haven't finished college yet.) Read a bit more, look at the big picture, think about questioning what he says rather than swallowing it whole. You'll get there but this comment about Hogan reads like someone with an agenda who doesn't realize how transparent they look.

OP - here is the article you should have read before posting.
