What generally happens is that the union hacks posing as school board members crossfile in both Democrat & Republican primaries and turn 100% of their people in a primary which is lucky to get a 20% turn over. On occasion, one or two of their slate of four doesn't win the Republican primary and has to compete in the general election. But they are still guaranteed the election of 2-3 of their union hacks who is supposed to be representing the district against the teacher's union.
Since the taxpayers are the ones that have to pay for public employees wages and benefits and the huge pension liabilities. The taxpayers should know what they have to pay for.
Unions have been losing in the private sector. Now they are digging in on the government side.
Many fights now as the government Unions fear losing their money and power over school boards and such.
