Paying Good Teachers More Is ‘Unfair’??!!
In response to a staffing crisis, the elected Lee County School Board (LCSB) approved an incentive plan to attract and retain teachers for high-need schools and hard-to-fill subject areas.
Big Labor Hits Road Block in Wisconsin
As Big Labor seeks to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, they are running into a big road block that is hindering their efforts — Walker’s reforms are working saving taxpayers millions of dollars.
City Journal looks at the success of the Walker reforms that should be a model for other states looking to balance their budgets: “The truth, however, is that the reforms not only are saving money already; they’re doing so with little disruption to services. In early August, noticing the trend, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that Milwaukee would save more in health-care and pension costs than it would lose in state aid, leaving the city $11 million ahead in 2012—despite Mayor Tom Barrett’s prediction in March that Walker’s budget ‘makes our structural deficit explode.'”
That is just one example. Well worth the read.
