On Milton, teachers haggle over insurance

The teacher's union in WI (WEAC) spent over a $1.5M in '09 lobbying to get more of our tax money. (using our tax money from teacher's dues). WEAC is the largest lobbyist in the state, it's time to get back our educational system from this powerful lobbyist group. It starts with saying no more tax increases - we can't afford it.

stubby - trying to compare levy rates is what Brodhead attempted. Here's a new idea- the levies of the other districts are too high ! It's time to stop throwing an increasing share of our income to public schools for education results that are declining relative to the rest of the world.

The teacher's union spent a great deal of union dues money lobbying to get rid of QEO. (WEAC spent over $1.5M in 2009 lobbying Madison. And 19 hours per day). Their argument was teacher's pay shouldn't be limited by state regulations.

Now, the market should drive other changes to teacher's compensation. There are teachers out of work and new teachers lining up to take positions. The market says this is when pay and benefits begin dropping somewhat.

Grassroots conservatives want less government in our lives, not more. Yes, Republican politicians screwed up by not reforming outrageous insurance company control (given to them by the '73 HMO Act). We are often equally disgusted by big government Republican and Democrat politicians.

darwin1- lobbying I don't have a problem with as lobbying is a right granted by the 1st amendment. I'm referring to WEAC surpisrisingly not acting in the best interests of education excellence. And they call the shots of these local unions. For example, WEAC sued to close a 700-studet virtual school where parent satisfaction and student achievement were high. (Burmaster v. Johnson). For the teacher's union, it's about the money, not the children.
