Gov Tawes Sounds Out On Teacher Salary Increase
Governor Tawes weighed a plan to raise Maryland public school teacher salaries by more than 14 million dollars, about 2 million less than teachers seek but well above the 63 million total education aid proposed. He planned a late morning meeting with legislative leaders to decide. any program would require new tax revenue. Meanwhile the Legislature moved on other items including a state gasoline price inquiry, residency voting rights for D C residents, and bills on credit charges, driver license exams, and welfare for illegitimate children. The core debate centers on whether state funds should directly finance pay hikes or be given to subdivisions to decide. The James Committee proposal, favored by the governor, totals about 35.9 million in operating aid and related increases, with 2.6 million more for welfare, funded by new levies.
