Realistically, it doesn't matter what the retired teacher believes.

What the taxpayer thinks is important.

I don't know about Michigan, but these school levys have been routinely voted down here in Ohio.

The last time our school district passed a levy, like seven years ago, the bulk of the money went to making good unfunded commitments to the teacher's union fund.

They tried to sneak it around the taxpayer and are now exposed for the public-sector unionists they are.

Can I ask a silly question: How come these retirees (and even those currently employed) don’t sue their unions for mis-representation? Don’t the unions negotiate on their behalf and “lock in” contracts that lay-out the benefits to be received?

He should be glad he isn't teaching in Cleveland Public Schools, which just laid off 500 teachers plus staff. For all the morons who voted to repeal SB5 last Fall, "this one's for you."
