Well governed?

Evidence suggests easily fooled voters, although some $6.8 billion USD has flowed from Maryland casinos to the Maryland Education Trust Fund since 2010, educators on the ground are still asking when the airconditioners ordered a decade past will arrive.

It would appear there's a major leak in the Education Trust Fund.

Or they redirected funding that previously went to education to other budget items. If a trust fund is created to send $7B to education, but the government cuts their previous $10B in funding, the trust fund can be perfectly followed, while educators see a $3B cut in their funding.

		Apparently very little of the $6 billion that came from the casino's that were approved via voting on the basis that money would go to education ended up in schools. The funding levels appear to be stagnating, there is no sign of any additional topping up. It's a dishonest sleight of hand designed to fool the voters who wanted education improvements, voted for a path of action that was promised to deliver .. and did not. It's clear how the con works, equally clear that it was a con.
