California teachers rally against budget cuts ("public isn't paying for subs")

He said the union was paying districts across the state for the costs of bringing in substitutes to replace the teachers, and it also picked up the protesting teachers' travel expenses.
"It's not something the public is paying for," Sanchez said.

In addition to being thugs, ignorant, largely illiterate and arrogant, these so-called teachers (the loud and militant ones) are not normal people I would associate with. Why wpuld I trust my children to their care?

Of course the taxpayer are paying for the substitute teachers. It's all part of the bloated and unreasonable salaries, retirement and benefits that we're paying the unions, via the thug teachers' salaries.

D'OH!!
Nothing is worth not being there to teach the kids, with the certain exception of feeding their greed.
We get it.
The only consolation is what's already happening in other states : retirement checks simply stop. If that's the plan, you're welcome to it.
Even thugs can't force the normal taxpayers from paying money they don't have.

Well, if the subs can do just a good of a job as the regular teachers..... fire them and hire the subs.

..and legislate the requirement that salaries, benefits and retirement can be no higher than the average equivalent private employee amounts. No exceptions.

A new State Constitutional Amendment would not hurt : No Future State expense can be incurred that is not funded in current budgets, and the moneys for a specific purpose may not be spent or borrowed to meet the expenses of the General Fund or emergencies of any kind.

A responsible legislature with an IQ of over 60 should at all times maintain a state reserve for emergencies that is adequate to meet the average cost of actual physical emergencies of the previous ten years. Again, those moneys shall not be used for any other purpose under penalty of criminal incompetence. That would include labeling a Gay Parade an emergency for purposes of funding it.

.....Even thugs can't force the normal taxpayers from paying money they don't have.

I think the "plan"is for EVERYONE to be a public "employee" and Big Brother will dole out the money.

“State Constitutional Amendment”

This is California they are talking about. No such thing as an amendment. The courts decide what can and cannot be in the constitution there. The people, the legislative and the executive branch have no power in California. At least that is what it looks like from those of us on the outside.

I’m in the same boat as well though, I’m in Illinois. It doesn’t matter what they legislate here, the courts do what they want for the most part.

as I said on another thread...these people won't even pay taxes on their pensions....they are getting away with $100,000 pensions and pay no taxes on them....that is what this is all about...

$100,000 would be a huge income to most of us....let alone tax free....

worms squirming thru dirt....thats what they are...
