LEGGETT,
COUNTY COUNCIL,
LEGISLATORS TO

ANNAPOLIS THIS
MORNING

Elected Officials Seek to Slash MCPS
Budget, Transfer Education Funds to
Developers and Special Interests

It's Outrageous

Education ALERT: Bill MC14-10 "Maintenence of Effort Waiver" aka Less Money for MCPS Hearing, today at 9:30 a.m., Rm. 170 Lowe Bldg., Annapolis.



In plain ingles, Bill MC14-10 is Montgomery County's legislators, county executive, and councilmembers asking for the ability to drastically cut MCPS funding. A free pass to transfer funds from education to the developers and special interests that got them elected.



Nancy Floreen has even proposed spending millions to create a new department that will help those interests! Carl Sagan is still laughing hysterically somewhere out there in the cosmos about Leggett and Floreen's plan to spend billions to save millions.



Pretty much everything parents are asking MCPS, and the County Council, to keep in the budget is on the line with Bill MC14-10.



They're trying to quietly sneak this through. You need to call your legislators before that happens, and tell them you oppose MC14-10.



You may remember Ike Leggett recently said that the law requiring the county to maintain funding for MCPS is "stupid."



That tells you all you need to know about this council and legislature's commitment to the children, parents, and teachers of Montgomery County.
