Some of that I can agree with. *OTOH, employee-employer relations are

I'm all for reorganizing some of the work rules. *Especially the rule
that says your pension is based on the average salary you made during

Han,

I am glad we are having a dialogue on this. I agree with your last
statement.

Thanks!! I agree, we need to talk. We don't want more occurrences like
the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies that give away pension obligations to
the "state" or just say screw you to the retired workers. Some givebacks
need to happen, but we were focusing here on teachers. And then the BIG
question is, would you want your kids (and your neighbors' kids too) to
have a good education, or should the kids be warehoused until 16 or 18
and then loosed upon the drugdens that would undoubtedly spring up in
your town.
