Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) went on the defensive on Friday morning when asked to explain why he has proposed to cut education funding by $144 million.‘Well, first of all, it’s not true,” Hogan said during the Marc Steiner Show’s annual “Annapolis Summit” broadcast. “We haven’t cut education. I’m spending more on K through 12 education than any governor in the history of the state. We actually increased spending on education. . . . We just didn’t increase at the rate that people would like us to and that we would like to, frankly.”Read full article >> [Read full article »] <http://link.washingtonpost.com/544d41923b35d04a5290184028bqj.2x2z/VMvhLcPoszDZtqfxA0163>
