I take it the Teacher's Unions are agaainst Merit Pay legislation, or anything that takes them out of the comfort zone of lockstep pay raises [the rest of us don't get], and the insane job security provided by the current system?

That Crist vetoes it makes it more confusing politically though. Obviuosly Sink is playing strictly by the Dem playbook here... oppose it, and hope single issue voter/teachers care more about this, than everyone else.

You forgot the sarcasm button for the first paragraph above...:biggrin:
there was a lot more going on with this bill than merit pay. Gov Crist did the right thing for the students and the teachers.

Interesting to see that the teacher's union is still a powerful force in this State. I bet there is now a ticker going on somewhere trying to see how many dems switch to republican to help Crist out, so he can decide rather to stay an R or go I.
 
Better for him to go Independent, IMO, he will be able to draw the conservative Democrats and the moderate Republicans, as would Meek if Crist drops out altogether. Rubio surely doesn't want a 2 way race.
 
What are Sink's views on proper taxation of the online travel companies, budget cuts for the Clerk of Court offices in Florida, and changes to the Florida Retirement System? And that stupid flagship university bill?

what specifically is your problem with the pay scale of teachers? do you believe merit pay is fair to teachers and why? would you take the position of starting teacher in an urban school and have your pay contingent on the dynamics at home and the classroom. i helped my wife input grades tonight, and the bottom tier of students have abysmal school attendance and test scores. do you wish to put that on the backs of an already underpaid profession, or do you just despise unions?
 
I think she supports the proper taxation for online travel companies, believe she opposes the changes to FRS.
