First of all it is patently untrue that governors “don’t testify.” @MartinOMalley personally testified on Marriage Equality, the Assault Weapons Ban, & MD’s Death Penalty Repeal. If you feel so strongly, why are you afraid to testify? @GovLarryHogan @LarryHogan
Seriously, @GovLarryHogan @LarryHogan you call a press conference to criticize Chairman @WillcSmithJr & run to the @baltimoresun to call for his resignation!? Your grandstanding is as breathtaking as it is galling!
The MDGA “already passed tougher mandatory minimum sentences on some gun offenders just two years ago, and those have done nothing to stop the violent crime rate in Baltimore.” @GovLarryHogan @LarryHogan baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md…
I'll use this thread to keep a "tally" of the required county contribution under the Kirwan Formula Workgroup Plan today. It stands at $1.35B under the draft thus far. We all expect the details to change today, but unclear on ripple effects. DLS doc: dls.maryland.gov/pubs/prod/NoPb…
On page 5 of that document, see the $8,051m column for current law mandated spending, and then the $8,995m column. That's NOW versus (draft) FULL KIRWAN in FY2030. However, it's understated significantly...
The $8,995m column includes the effect of counties *reducing* their contribution below current MOE requirements - they can't do that. So, a clearer look would be to compare the *greater* of the two numbers versus the current law.... #Kirwan #Blueprint4MD
