Annapolis, MD (WBFF) — Financial pain is coming as Maryland faces a nearly 3-billion-dollar budget deficit due in large part to public education spending.
The warning signs have been there for years, but many lawmakers in Annapolis appear to have looked the other way.
On Wednesday, lawmakers from the Maryland House and Senate met in Annapolis for a joint hearing to discuss Governor Wes Moore’s proposed adjustments to the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future – the state’s landmark education reform bill passed in 2021, almost two years before Moore took office. The Blueprint pumps $30 billion additional tax dollars into public education over the first 10 years. And $4 billion additional dollars every year after that. The law, in part, increases teacher salaries, expands Pre-K and doubles teacher collaboration time.
Now, with Maryland facing a nearly $3 billion budget deficit, the massive cost of the Blueprint has come into question.
Hogan was right to veto this. The blue print only set us up for disappointment and a budget disaster.
Maryland Dems are proposing legislature to protect illegals in our State. These people are sooooo stupid! The Trump admin has stated that this will make us loose federal money. I don’t want to protect illegals. I don’ want to pay for illegals. I don’t want this crap! I hope everyone emails our representatives and tells them no to this legislation that costs us more money. Also, please think before you vote for demon crats next election!
There should be plenty of money for public education by the funds generated from legalized gambling and weed sales.

I say the Eastern Shore succeed from Maryland.
Majority on the Western Shore are on Welfare that we pay for
President Trump just informed the Governor of Maine that she will lose Federal funding if she continues to defy his order concerning men in women’s sports. It was hilarious!!! 😀
The sad part is, most of those billions never reaches the students. Baltimore city is in the top 3 every year in $$ spent per student, and they don’t have a single one proficient in math and reading. $$ isn’t the problem in schools. Right now in Wicomico it’s overpopulated schools due to illegals, most of which speak no English. That means the teachers have to translate every lesson plan for them, and many of the non-English speakers can’t even read and write in their own language.
Education starts at home
