PA budget

Quote:
The Republican governor called for public school administrators, teachers and support staff to “hold the line” and share in the economic sacrifice by agreeing to a one-year pay freeze, which he said could save school districts $400 million. Salary bumps for teachers with master’s degrees would be eliminated, saving school districts about $200 million.

Teachers, students and their families need to "share in the economic sacrifice" but wealthy people, who should be taxed more, don't have to. Bullshit.

he also will be seeking salary rollbacks, pay freezes and increased benefit contributions from state employees as contracts expire. He wants to eliminate 1,500 state jobs.

PA unemployment is still over 8%, but let's fuck over 1500 more middle class families by eliminating their jobs.

Republicans suck, and not in the good way.
