The Cecil County Republican Central Committee writes to express our frustration at the regrettable actions of the CCPS Superintendent, Jeffrey Lawson. It is disheartening to witness the highest paid public official in our county resorting to manipulative practices and extortionary tactics in an attempt to apply public pressure to influence the budgetary process.

Last week, Governor Wes Moore unveiled his proposed FY25 Budget and it is a disaster. While economists and lawmakers warn of an impending budget crisis, he is continuing his reckless spending streak with hundreds of millions of dollars being thrown at new programs. Meanwhile, to pay for it, he is proposing raiding the state's rainy day fund, slashing funding for core government services, and allowing the budget deficit to continue. The legislature will now spend the next several months debating, reviewing, and amending the budget, and it is critical for our state's fiscal future that we fight against these proposals.

Two meetings into the redistricting process and Carl Roberts is behaving exactly how concerned citizens feared he would. Not only has he lost his temper, shouted down commission members, and been the deciding vote in ruling out the only maps offered by another member of the commission, but he is also using his post to stall, convolute, and steer the redistricting process.
