Underwhelmed. Again.
Our good Republican governor is at it again. He heralds as one of his goals raising teacher salaries such that they will be on par with those paid by surrounding states. In a letter to teachers across the Commonwealth today, he notes that he proposes taking the first step this year by raising teacher salaries 2%. This is not a typo.
~ My fuel costs are up sharply from last year.
~ My heating bills are up by 64% this winter, even though the weather has been unnaturally warm.
~ Food costs more. My kid’s psychiatrist costs more. Everything costs more.
So the governor figures surrounding states will propose raises of less than 2% just so our state can catch up?
