Maryland senators are no-shows as budget negotiations stall over education
public turn late Thursday, as House of Delegates budget negotiators accused their Senate counterparts of standing them up. Senators said they never agreed to show.House negotiators wanted to talk about moving even more money into public education than when the funding dispute began weeks ago. But an hour after their meeting was scheduled to begin, they took their places around a horseshoe-shaped committee table to announce that it appeared the senators weren’t coming.
“The only time you ever stand somebody up is when you agree to meet them. And we never had an agreement of when we were going to meet,” Senate Budget and Taxation Chairman Guy Guzzone said later Thursday. The House passed a budget that set aside $900 million for future education spending and phased out the voucher program by trimming $2 million from the $10 million program. The Senate wants to set aside $800 million and keep the voucher program at $10 million a year.
“The real issue is BOOST,” Guzzone said of the Senate position. “And this is a very heartfelt issue on both sides about what needs to be done or should be done for education.”
