Dennis -

Your post about the retired teachers getting a year's salary for working 10 days a year for 3 years in Green Bay and even a better deal in Madison sounds like a bad deal for taxpayers - BUT - if YOU were a retired teacher or family member of one in Green Bay or Madison, would YOU like the deal? See, it all depends whose ox is being gored. What is bad for some is great for others. Your honest answer will most likely be that you would take the deal and be very happy.

Is there any further development as to whether or not Wisconsin teachers will strike? Most of the students don't care - even though they say they are on the side of the teachers. They just want time off of school.

Why is it that Wisconsin and Iowa have the greatest number of young people (student ages) that are addicts to meth? These states used to have great work ethic but no longer.
