Change in MD School Construction Oversight Draws Fire from Comptroller

Don Rush

There's legislation moving through the Maryland State Legislature that would move responsibility for overseeing school construction funding from the Board of Public Work to a commission appointed by the governor and top legislative leaders. Governor Larry Hogan who is a member of the Board has threatened to veto the measure. Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush spoke with Comptroller Peter Franchot who also sits on the Board and is a sharp critic of the legislation.
