SB-12404 & 3/4

KillersThe passage of Illinois SB-2404 seems somewhat doubtful. The appeasing union chorus is too loud, the fears of future teacher maiming too small, and the public posturing too meek.

In Florida public pensions have been whacked by the Tea Party Sociopath Gov. Rick Scott with the full blessing of the uber-corrupt Republican legislature. Present pensions are crippled and awaiting atrophy, and any possibility of a future pension for active teachers is dead.

Active teachers have no intentions of risking so much as an hour’s salary in defense of the corporate media described golf-course living retirees who eat fresh salmon and arugula at the health-club. What do those ancient relics know about the problems teachers face daily?
