Support Maryland's Commitment to Education

We support the State of Maryland honoring its commitment to education by
continuing to fund teachers' pensions.

We are working to stop transfer of pensions to the counties and
Baltimore City for several reasons. Such a transfer would lead to
increased crowding in classrooms, undermine achievement by Maryland's
students, exacerbate fiscal stress in counties and in Baltimore, and
cause other serious problems.

Please contribute now to help Stop Transfer Of Pensions (STOP) launch
our website, plan public events, and organize support for sensible
policies to address budget short-falls. Transferring pension obligations
to the counties and cities would devastate local economies, defund
public schools and public safety, prevent needed transportation repairs
and new projects, and bankrupt our local governments. We have better
choices.

Please support our efforts with a generous donation! Contributions to
STOP are not tax deductible:
