Description
On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Michael Sanderson and Kevin Kinnally recap the 2019 MACo Summer Conference – “Winds of Change," which focused on the changes being seen at every level of government and constituent services and how counties are harnessing that momentum for the good of all Marylanders. By all accounts, this year’s conference was the largest gathering of Maryland government stakeholders the event has sever seen!Education funding - particularly the looming uncertainty around the ambitious, multi-billion-dollar overhaul of Maryland’s education system, was a hot topic throughout the conference. We discuss a panel discussion led by Dr. William "Brit" Kirwan, potential implications for county budgets, House Speaker Adrienne Jones' comments on how the State could potentially raise revenue to help fund the Kirwan Commission's recommendations, and Governor Hogan's remarks on what implementing the Commission's plan would mean for taxpayers and Maryland's bottom line.MACo has made the podcast available through both iTunes and Google Play Music by searching Conduit Street Podcast.
