Public Needs to Be Reminded of What Is Important
RECEIVED Fri., May 12, 2006
Dear Editor,
Speaking of teacher pay raises [“Triumph in the Lege?,” News, May 12], can someone please explain to me why the Legislature gave the judges/justices (some of which make anywhere in the range of $100,000 a year) of this state a 25% to 35% pay increase, and our childrens' teachers are getting a whopping pay increase of $2,000 a year? The state leaders obviously need a greater respect and understanding of the need to hire and maintain excellent teachers as they did for the judges! Thanks for your article. The public needs to be constantly reminded of what is important.
