Wisconsin is the main battlefield at the moment, but what message are the teachers sending to all students? It comes across that their salary is the most important, and that teaching SHOULD be higher paid than other private jobs. If teaching is such a valuable occupation deserving of higher pay scales, then it should be because students learning are all able to earn higher salaries, and that fair taxes on those earnings will provide the revenue to fund teaching pay at the higher scale.

WTVM9 story: "TACOMA, WA (CNN) - A sex offender in Washington state is suing the mother of his victim. * The reason? She wrote about her child's alleged molestation in her blog. * Danielle Schneider says she started the blog to warn the community about Patrick Rojas. Rojas pleaded guilty in 2007 to misdemeanor communication with a minor for immoral purposes. * CNN reached out to Rojas' attorney and there is no comment at this time. *In court documents, his lawyer says Rojas is embarrassed by the blog and can't get work because of it." -- Only CNN would side with making a molester a victim.

L-E story: "The tax council recommends Georgia’s 37-cent tax on a pack of cigarettes be raised to 68 cents. The proposed tax is an average of the surrounding states, but it would be the second-highest next to Florida’s $1.34. * Opinion is split among lawmakers on raising the tax, with a slight edge toward approving an increase. Democrats generally support increasing the tax, which is among the nation’s lowest. Republican sentiment is more divided." -- "Democrats generally support increasing the tax"...DOH, and what's new about this?

From The Council Agenda in the L-E: "It is requested that council approve payment to National Center for State Courts (NCSC) in the amount of $55,000 to perform a workload assessment study for Superior Court. * The study will assess operations related to case management and the impact of a new Army division moving to the area to be conducted for the Superior Court Judges and the Office of the Clerk of Superior Court." -- Hey, 28-30,000 people will be moving into the area; that's about a 10-15% increase in area population. Superior Courts will have additional cases. Now, Council, save the $55,000.00 you were thinking about spending for someone else to say the same thing.

Looking at the agenda in general, it seems that Council has too much money available and no will power to not spend it.
