And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system.

This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are.

The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
