Teachers made their choice

Fri., April 26, 2019

Last year the teachers unions and teachers had a choice: a large, unsustainable pay raise or full employment. Taxpayers cannot afford both of these options. Now that the layoffs are here, get over it, you made your choice.

Administrators told you the raises you demanded were not sustainable. Taxpayers should not have to undergo another round of tax hikes.
