- I have viewed the Blog Comments & even Face Book and old & young alike have mis-construed this Topic
This is Not a stand against Teachers! There was a very clever Face Book Post that made it look like Teachers are getting "short changed"...the snake can be twisted in many different ways...and the MSM is twisting this issue every which way to make the Governor look like a Snake!
- The Governor, who was Elected in November, is doing what he told the people that voted for him he was going to do when he ran for the Office he now holds!
i.e. get concessions from the "Public Employee" Unions. That's not just Teachers. It includes ALL Public Employee Unions...AFSCME...SEIU...City Trash Collectors, etc... Do you realize that these people are promised a Pension as the result of Politicians conceding to their Collective Bargaining? The Pensions that have been promised to theses people total in the "Trillions" of Dollars Country Wide, while 46 of 50 States are running in the Red! How are these obligations to be met?
- Does the Private Company you work for provide you with a Pension? or a 401K?
There is a BIG difference there!
- Bottom Line...the Governor is saying I want you to pay 5.8% towards your Pension & 12.6% towards your Family's Health Care...and The Liberals are comparing him to Hitler! That means the Taxpayer is paying 94.2% of the Pension & 87.4% of their Health Care!

I completely agree with the proposed plan the governor has presented!! I am not anti-teacher. I am, however, against bleeding my own pockets and the state to pay for benefits for said teachers (and state employees) that I have to contribute to (or fully fund) myself.
