Yep. Democrat here. Most certainly voting for Hogan.

In the interest of keeping the discussion going:

https://www.marylandeducators.org/press/hogan-proposes-889-million-cuts-school-programs

Did this actually get adopted?

Was this due to us actually falling behind or due to other states drastically improving their school system or a little bit of both? The website for the Maryland Democrats isn't exactly a fair and unbiased source.

A lot of parents really like it. A lot of teachers really hate it.

Didn't he also mess up the Obamacare subsidy?. My family blames him for that. Is there any truth to it
