Good teachers everywhere lose respect because of clowns like this guy.
Typical stuff in Illinois.
FDR was right, once.

Interesting case...

Any more egregious than the bankers and traders...
who made out nicely with large bonus while their financial institutions were receiving government bailouts? Surely you were outraged over that as well? Or is it just teachers who should bare the burden of our rage?
You are right however, qualifying for a large pension after one day of work is ridiculous, unless injured on the job.

All public employee unions should be banned. All of them.
Bankers can be punished by investors. Public employees have a stranglehold on the taxpayer. And most are slackers. To wit: the IRS. (I've been wanting to post "To wit" for years.)

Who's more to blame?
The employee taking advantage of the ridiculous rule, or the morons who wrote it or agreed to it in the first place?
Public employees negotiate with elected representatives. Shouldn't the taxpayers have an issue with them? If you don't want public sector employees, then abolish the agencies that employ them. Who would plow and repair your roads, run the court systems, educate the kids, collect the taxes, enforce the laws, and on and on.... Should those people work for nothing?
King of the irrational rant at it again!

Re: Who's more to blame?
What about all those R governors and R majority state legislatures? Tom Corbett, R for governor of PA negotiated one of the biggest public employee contracts in PA history, approved by the R House and R Senate.
Of course your political myopia wouldn't allow you to recognize anything like that.

Raymond P. Shafer, Republican Governor....you probably voted for him!
With some reluctance, on July 23, 1970 Shafer signed Act 195 making Pennsylvania the first state in the nation to permit its public employees to bargain collectively, join a union, and strike. Act 195 superseded a 1947 statute that prohibited such activities. The law resulted from a study by the Public Employee Law Commission-known also as the Hickman Commission-that recommended numerous changes in the relationship between public sector employees and employers.

Re: Who's more to blame?
Anybody's guess....but does it matter? Whomever was responsible for approving it is at fault. You simply assumed it was a D. I pointed out above that R's can be quite generous to public employee unions as well.

Re: Who's more to blame?
You injected politics into it. Nothing in the article mentioned political party.
"If you are saying Democratic pols are to blame, who am I to disagree!"
