And of course, you've been politically active and furious about this over the past many years, demonstrating against it, I assume? You've been angry and vocally against your state government people, the ones that do the collective bargaining, that have given these perks away?

I'm tired of this new fad of demonizing teachers, just so the GOP can break the unions to try and break Democratic votes and contributions. It's absurd kabuki theatre. Get angry about your state revenue being constantly decreased, over the past 20 years by tax giveaways to corporations. A tax giveaway was about the first thing your new GOP governor did, too. And no anger from you over that.
