At a townhall-style Q&A in March, members of the Teachers Association of Anne Arundel County pressed County Executive Steuart Pittman, who they helped elect, about the county’s budget. The Board of Education’s proposed budget underfunds health care and increases educator contributions by $1,400 per year. As members stepped up to the mic, they urged Pittman to amend the budget and improve funding, including through progressive revenue measures. Check out TAAAC’s strong call to action here.
