Maryland as a Leader
- Even in the toughest of times, we protected our priorities:
- Maryland ranks first in the nation for our K-12 education system.
- Maryland has moved from 6th most expensive to 20th in the nation for higher education tuition, as a result of four consecutive years of a tuition freeze, started by the legislature in 2006.
- Maryland is now 16th in the nation for providing healthcare coverage to adults, down from 44th in the nation in 2007.
- Maryland continues to be one of seven states with a triple-A bond rating
- Unemployment rate is below the national average (7.4% in MD v. 10% US)
