sin taxes to fund teacher raises, money for mental health

Published May 29, 2008
Views: 93

I do not live in N.C., but this is not fair to all of the other State employees. I have noticed for several years the St. Gov has favored the teachers when time comes for a raise. Why are they so bias? A lot of the regular State employees works just as if not harder than the teachers, but, the teachers makes more than the others. ALL State employees should be treated equal, with no favoritism. Bottom line.

if you don't live here than why concern yourself? im just saying, if people want teachers to teach better pay them more, it has to come from somewhere

I enjoy the pay raises, but I would prefer that I have better insurance. Very few state employees can afford to insure their families on the state plan. There have been some years that we received pay raises, but the insurance went up so much that we actually made less money.

*troopers not troupers

Yes, I am aware of the hard work and all they go through, but, what about the State Troupers? They way deserve more than they get cause they put their life on the line every day for a lot less than teachers. Even though Troupers do not require a degree, they still have a very hazardous job. More than you can put a price tag on.

Hey NM, never watch NC laws or sausage being made.....

You want to see what teachers go thru? Go sub. You will NEVER question a pay raise EVER again. Seriously.

With all due respect to the teachers and the hard work that they do, please keep in mind that this proposal is nothing more than pandering to the NCAE union in order to maintain Democratic control of the governor's mansion and the Council of State. In short, the NCAE is far more effective union than what the rest of the state workers have and as such will receive political favors like the raises in order to curry favor.

I for one back the teacher's raises -- they need more money for the hard work that they do. But I also back raises for our other state employees, many of who work just as hard and face the same personal issues as teachers.

To fund that, I would first hire McKinsey & Company or a similar corporate efficiency company to come in and objectively point out the gross bureaucratic inefficiencies in our government. Using that report I would trim the fat and then take the savings and give our state workers the money that they need and deserve.

and he's a pr!ck...

Give all the same amount of pay raise or nothing at all!
