The Wisconsin Cheese Showdown

[John Dibble]

Just to throw in my two cents...

We do need to get rid of teachers' unions. They need to have so little power and influence that their existence would serve no point to anyone. A significant part of this would actually have to involve increasing teacher pay and benefits. With the pay/benefits increase there should be increased responsibility and standards for teachers, of course, so I would expect many current teachers to have to find new jobs under this model, but I imagine with the increased pay people with the right credentials would be more inclined to accept a job as a teacher than they currently would be.

So the Governor appears to have a new plan to get the absent Senators to come - if at least one of them doesn't return he's going to lay off 1500 state employees.
