Actually the 50,000 avg is deceiving. We have an aging teaching population that as quoted in an earlier article in the gazette, has "97 staff members who can go no higher on the salary scale". So in reality in the coming years what they make will go down as more retire.

Good teachers are worth every penny they are paid, notice I said GOOD. Tenure abuse is the real problem here. Teachers are continually asked to work more days as the school year continues to grow, compensation for that is fair. People should focus less on what is going on with the teachers and more on how much wasteful spending the district is doing. Football field anyone?

Newman doe not see the forest through the trees. The reason they have to make these cuts is because more and more people are avoiding the place and heading out of town, they will continue to slit own throats, they don't have a clue.

Perhaps he should have turned the heat down a notch or two then? From what I understand, there were 2 of them and both were All-State caliber players.

Back when E-High took 2nd in the mid 90's did they not have a couple of kids that left that could have easily made up the difference? That was the word anyways, good luck E-High, wish you well.

I had a few friends that worked out at Menu for awhile, they told me they could take home a few cases of food a week, and that there were "dent" sales from time to time. Dunno if that has changed but I think there is opportunity if one wants to pursue it.

With Safeway, Menu and soon to be Hill's there should be plenty of hand outs to take advantage of, look into those options.

WTF are you talking about?

I never claimed the song was not racist. Have always felt that way guess I will have to repost since you failed to read it the first time:

Ummm ok? ? This group of people are among the same who claim Obama is Hitler, support Limbaugh who played the "Barack the Magic Negro" tune on his show and now they are burning effigys and you think I am out of line suggesting that they are extremists? Yes I do find the Barack the Magic Negro song to be racist in nature, do you not? Do you think it was created to honor Obama? Insight indeed=)

I made a satarical comment about a group of nutjobs and what I get from you is:

"Nice to see you are among those who brand everyone a racist. More insight"

Branding everyone a racist? YOUR words not mine, are you serious or on crack? If these individuals are PUBLICALLY burning effigys of a women politician they dislike I cringe to think what they do when not in public, I would bet the farm that Barack the Magic Negro would be kind in comparison to what really transpires, common sense much?

And just to clarify, per the article that I posted, the people that show up to that event, are extremists. I don't care what god they pray to, or what political party they follow, they are idiots.

DISCLAIMER!!! Nowhere in this post did Goodoldboy claim that all Teabaggers are extremists, just the idiots mentioned in the article.
