Earlier thread, I mentioned that our values are "out of whack", how can our state, not be ashamed, paying a profession that is so important to our future such a pathetic amount to our teachers.
Please, for those asking me to leave if I don't like it, I suggest we fix this problem by cutting our legislators salaries until it's fixed.

I'm not sure you get it. You are in the "south" every state has different economics. You pick on the teacher salaries. it's everything so get off your soapbox. and yes if you don't like it.... you know that one.
Here's the deal I don't care what you do the standard salary in a lot of these southern states is lower than the northern states especially if you are going to use NY, Chicago, etc. which by far isn't a fair comparison at all . In addition, this is a tourist state which also changes the economics.
People have the freedom to do whatever job they want to do, and get paid accordingly to the economics of the job within the area it is in. Personally I can tell you that if I left my job for a local one I would take a 45% hit in pay. and that would be going into an executive job.
It's real easy to peel one off the top and whine about it, but your approach takes nothing into account that should be.
