I really have to laugh when the teachers come and complain that the school department has been level funded. Have the teachers been level funded? This latest contract gives the teachers $13.4 million in raises. That money comes from the taxpayer. There is only so much money that this city can extract from the taxpayers without harm to the community. The teachers and the unions DO NOT recognize that fact. The raises that were just given out (in the absence of the 5 year auditors report) have again, yet another detrimental impact on everyone in the community except for those recipients of the raises.

I am so tired of hearing all of these inefficient workers whining that they DESERVE MORE. They deserve only what the community can afford and the community can no longer afford them and their gracious benefits. $13 mil in raises and still no after school programs. But its all about the kids right?

What a joke. Solomon keeps saying that it is the year of the taxpayers. What do we get this year? How are we factored into the process other than in the funding formula?
