"As an elected official in Vermont in the 1980s, Howard Dean worked tirelessly for State funding to improve teacher salaries at a time those salaries were shamefully low, and he was our champion. As Governor in the 1990s, Howard Dean made a name for himself as a fiscal conservative, limiting public spending generally, including for public schools. We opposed him when he did that.
Vermont-NEA had real disagreements with Governor Dean, especially during his early terms, and usually over finances. The most serious difference was over a legislative proposal in 1993-94 for a statewide teachers’ contract. Governor Dean, true to his fiscally conservative nature, supported the concept. Vermont-NEA fought it, successfully. We criticized Governor Dean for his continued underfunding of the Teachers’ Retirement System, and for his failure in 1995 to reappoint the pro-labor chair of the Vermont Labor Relations Board."
As far as Karen Maple - I know all about the case - that had to do with CPS not the governor.
And who does CPS report to, the Governor and in Karen Maple's case, that Governor was Dean.
How do you feel about the UN
You are aware that Dean thinks we should rely more on the the UN .. that we should spend more time consulting with them on our national security issues
Why in the world you can't see what Dean is doing is beyond me
Kind of reminds be of an argument I had back in 92 with my Lib sister.
I told her then, that Clinton was a buffoon and would turn out to be the worse thing that ever happen to this country.
At the time she said I was nuts .. but I turned out to be correct.
