New Senate budget chair Guzzone forecasts a phase-in for school reforms, spending
All kinds of wild numbers are floating around about the cost of school reforms recommended by the Kirwan Commission on education and how to pay for them.
The new chairman of the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee, Howard County�s Guy Guzzone, sees a way forward by phasing in the recommendations without tax hikes � at least for the moment. [The legislature presiding officers told the Washington Post�s Erin Cox that no hikes were planned in the state income, sales or property tax.]
�If you�re going to spend all this money, you want to see results,� Guzzone said in an interview [in December]. �What I believe by now at this point is that we have the resources right now to get this going. We have the resources to see improvements along the way.�
�And we�re going to keep checking. And every time we check and realize that we�re succeeding and we�re reaching the next level of success, we can say, OK, let�s figure out how to fund that next level. I think that�s the right way to think about it.�
