Raise school spending with gambling revenue & legalized pot
Before Gov. Hogan took office, public schools were ranked first in the country for 5 years running. Now, under his leadership, we've slipped to sixth. As governor, I will reverse this trend by making sure we raise teacher pay by 29%, fund full-day
universal Pre-K by legalizing and taxing marijuana for adult use, and force Annapolis to finally keep its promise to use all of the casino and lottery revenue to increase education spending, not replace money they've shifted to other priorities.
