Hat tip to Exile on RochesterTurning.com for this piece of news. Here at DFE, attribution is important:
A coalition of NYSUT local unions is fighting a Monroe County plan to strip up to $29 million in county aid from school districts. “If this ill-conceived plan goes forward, our students will be short-changed,” said Beverly Engel, president of the Monroe County Federation of Teachers.
This is not good news for local Republican Legislators eager to win reelection. Not good news at all, because local teachers and schools might not have the money to put this issue out there along side the evening news, but you can bet NYSUT does. This issue will likely be front-and-center for the forseeable future unless the Repubs cave.
I for one am utterly heartbroken by this development. . . . /snark
