"Livid" President Pat O'Neill

Montgomery council stands ground on cuts to schools | Washington Examiner
...A livid Pat O'Neill, president of the school board, explained that extra cuts could increase the risk of a $52 million penalty from the state for not meeting minimum funding requirements. 
"We're looking at $52 million on top of $138 million and the $30 million that the council is now asking," she said. The $138 million cut "is our line in the sand. We're not crossing that line without a fight."
(Note that the "penalty" that Board of Education President is so concerned about was "waived" this year by the legislature. There is nothing that says another penalty can't also be waived.)
