Congress has acted 17 times to temporarily prevent drastic payment cuts resulting from use of the SGR formula.On the conclusion of the 2015 Maryland Legislative Session

Tell Gov. Hogan to fund our PUBLIC schools, workers
Governor Hogan needs to hear from you! After the legislature has done it's job to find the money necessary for the education of our young people, Governor Hogan won't play ball. He even tried to introduce a backdoor voucher program that would take PUBLIC TAXPAYER money and give it to PRIVATE schools. The governor is also holding state employee pay hostage, despite the fact that the legislature found the money to avoid state employee pay cuts.
