Just because I am in a pissy mood this morning and annoyed with union workers already...
ATTACHED: This is the official excel DPI database of teachers wages by school district. Look up your own district !!!
The current budget repair bill would have them paying about 5.8% towards their own retirement....right now, we the taxpayer, pays 100% of their generous retirement, and most of us pay 100% of our own retirement too.

TEACHERS:
Milwaukee $86,297
Elmbrook $91,065

So , how friends have defriended you on Facebook for posting this?

That giant whooooshing sound you hear is the worthless southern school teachers moving north.

It looks like one more person did, but that could have happened before posting this.

Every one of them make more than I do, and these assholes will complain about cuts........

I think I've lost all the liberals that I'm going to lose.

They aren't even getting cuts, from what I understand. The governor wants them to contribute to their own benefits to take the burden off of struggling taxpayer's. It's either contribute to your own benefits or deal with layoffs. Walker is trying to save jobs and this is the kind of reaction he gets - threats to him, his family, vandals at the Capitol, etc. Not like this should surprise us or anything.

Wow, that is some insane $$. Thanks for sharing that EC.
-
I knew I would regret clicking this thread. Now my BP is skyrocketing and my head is exploding. Thanks a bunch, EC.
(No really :-))
Public sentiment will be very interesting to watch.
-
If I was in Wisconsin right now, I'd print out hundreds of these and stick them on windshields and buildings all over town.
-
Obviously Union Members have become the very thing they pretend to abhor.
-
I looked up some stats too EC and while the school system is rated very highly overall what school system wouldn't be with a 15:1 student teacher ratio and an average cost of 12k per student! Blows the mind.
ETA: thanks girl, good work!

15:1 at 12K = $180,000 ....and the teacher gets half of that plus a lot of bennies....no business but government can operate like that.

Honest to God, if Walker pulls this off I will be the first to throw the Walker for president bumper sticker on my car.
-
Rush was just talking about this now and why the media isn't reporting it, and the average private industry workers makes $61,000 a year including benefits.

I already joked with my husband about this same thing! We are going back to Wisconsin in August for my best friend's wedding. I told him I'd put, "Scott Walker For President" on my car. I'll get a lot of middle fingers, but it would totally be worth it.
-
I don't care if the school is "highly rated" or not. For these exorbitant salaries and benefits, they are churning out some the dumbest kids in the country's history. Did you see the kids in the mob? "I dunno...duuh." Not the least bit curious, kiddo?
I know kids around here who don't know how to read an analog clock. I know a high school graduate who had trouble making change from a $20 for a $5.50 bill.
On the local call in radio show at noon today, there were some who are wishing for whatever's happening in WI, to happen to NY. How about the rest of you?
-
I hear you Karin and totally agree. This is what happens when we have a Federal Department of Education that usurps the authority of the states and local school districts.
-
Just put the link on my FB... let the defriendings begin.

Wow.
They really are underpaid.
No wonder they don;'t want to chip in for their own psnsion and benefits.
-
That's some good money they make. I don't see why they should be complaining about contributing to their own benefits.

EXCELLENT information, Jess. I'm printing some of those suckers off. Maybe I'll post them around town. :-)

Thanks for posting this EC. That's quite an eye popper, you should have seen my wife's eyes bug out of her head when I showed her this.
It also got me thinking, curious as to see what I might find around here, in my state. Here's a little gem I just turned up concerning $30,000 pay hikes at SUNY-

Is it any wonder many of our kids graduate college as much as $40,000 or more in debt, right off the bat?
