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:
