I cannot tell from those posts what your position is. you appeared to be trying to shift away any blame on unions, and went straight to NJ.

Were you claiming we had no standing to complain about Chicago because of what you think Christie is doing in NJ?

Were you saying we could not criticize Chicago if the administrators were non-union?

It sure as hell was not clear where your position was.
Agreed. I think she's afraid to state that her party backs these union thugs that allow for such things to happen IN ILLINOIS.

Not shifting blame at all. I just found it interesting to see folks up in arms about Adminstrators salaries considering the Teachers have been getting raked over the coals for weeks.

Were you claiming we had no standing to complain about Chicago because of what you think Christie is doing in NJ? You can complain about anything you want. Its your opinion.

Were you saying we could not criticize Chicago if the administrators were non-union? Nope not at all. What part of I agree if your going to go after the teachers you should also go after the administrators did you not get?

It sure as hell was not clear where your position was.

Seems clear to me..

That really didn't make any sense. Want to try again?

We are discussing ILLINOIS per the OP. What about that don't you understand? What your state does or doesn't do is irrelevant and off topic. Perhaps a refresher course in reading comprehension is in order?

Want to get back to me on post #25? I noticed you completely ignored it.

I still have no clue what your position is on the topic of liberals in government bleeding us dry of money, with state employee benefits. You dance around the topic, and point to a veiled hypocrisy, because people were not seen as going after teacher's unions and administrators at the same time.

Ah, so Since you couldn't get anyone to chime in and defend the decison, so you could go off on your tantrum, you've chosen a different path and rant about my agreement to the OP, except its not the type of agreement you were looking for. Sorry, thats my opinion and i'm sticking with it. IF YOUR GOING TO GO AFTER THE TEACHERS FOR BANKRUPTING STATES, THEN IT IS ONLY FAIR TO GO AFTER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS.

As far as post 25 and the unions. I'm not a backer of unions, but I support our educators. There's your answer.

Yeah, those commie educators are not deserving of a pension! It's not like they are Congressmen or anything?

I see how you continue to throw these partisan questions at me, but not recognizing that the Liberals alone did NOT get us in this mess.

I have a problem with NOT ONLY LIBERALS but REPUBLICANS bleeding us dry. Borrowing us into a hole that even our Great Grandchildren will be paying back. But you just keep pretending that all is gravy on the Right
