The Maryland General Assembly passed landmark education legislation, the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, that would implement important reforms that benefit our children's education, health and well-being, and the state's economy. Even though the bill passed the legislature with strong, bipartisan support, Governor Hogan vetoed the Blueprint. He also vetoed two bills that would raise revenue we need to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, invest in education, and other vital public services.

We can’t let these vetoes stand, sending a message that our kids’ future is not a priority.

Marylanders are counting more than ever on public services to help keep everyone safe and healthy and to ensure that families don’t go hungry or lose their housing as their paychecks shrink or disappear. We must fix our flawed tax system to generate sufficient resources. We can start by closing loopholes to make sure large corporations pay taxes on all their Maryland profits, just like our small local businesses do, and ending accounting gimmicks corporations use to avoid their tax responsibility. And let’s ensure the wealthiest Marylanders who now pay the smallest share of their income in state and local taxes, are paying their fair share like Maryland’s working families are.

Sign this petition and tell the General Assembly you support overriding Governor Hogan's misguided vetoes and continuing to clean up our tax code so that Maryland can respond to this emergency and build a stronger future.
