. . . Schools topped the list of five priorities in the county's 2006 legislative agenda County Executive Jack Johnson detailed Monday at James Madison Middle School in Clinton.
"Last year we got more money for education than any county in the state," Johnson said. "This year we have a greater opportunity to do even better because we have a surplus."
Johnson said the county will ask for $99.7 million for new school construction and $19.9 million for renovations and repairs. He proposes matching that with $69.7 million in county funds.
County legislators will also ask the state to reimburse Prince George's for $39.2 million in school construction projects it funded last year.

"Out of the education committee we'll be doing everything we can to help these fine young men and women," said Del. James Proctor, D-Prince George's, gesturing to a dozen Madison students in the audience.
Sen. Ulysses S. Currie, D-Prince George's, said he would also work to improve teacher pensions, which currently pay retired educators about $28,000 a year.

Other initiatives included creating violence-free school zones, matching apartment owners' security expenses with tax breaks, and charging 16- and 17-year-olds as adults for car theft.
