We keep hearing about how there is not enough money to completely fund our public schools. Nevertheless, Senator Ramirez, ignoring both the deficit in public school funding and constitutional provisions requiring separation of church and state and prohibiting government support of religion, is proposing a $50,000 handout to a church-run Roman Catholic school. Delegate Howard wants to divert more money away from classroom education with a new unfunded paperwork mandate.
And Senators Benson, Ramirez, Peters, and Rosapepe seek to spend money on more wasteful study commissions.
