Believe me when I say this. The money to save jobs for state teachers and first responders which will be voted in on 8/10/10 will go to fund state pensions.
I always find it fascinating that teachers like to lump themselves in with cops and firefighters.
In fact, here in NJ, they made a big deal about laying off firefighters first with the budget cuts. We told them at a town meeting to lay off teachers because they were more expendable - and they had a cow.
They do this on purpose. The know the public values first responders more than they do teachers, so they try and milk it for all it is worth.
