Teacher On Snow Day Wins Atlantic City Jackpot. Should Taxpayers Get A cut?

[BadAndyHolbrook]

Cry waaaaaaaaaaaa its not the teachers or cops that are the problem. Its the layers of govt. districts etc. on Long Island. Why not one Police Dept in each county not several. one fire dept , one school system. not several layers of each or multiple districts. And I hope taht teacher works till 63 and collects a fortune. Think about it he was playing PENNY SLOTS................

He will probably go on teaching until all of his money is gone....

4 million really isn't enough to quit your day job in this region nowadays.

No way.

The district heads called the snow day, not him. He wasn't doing anything wrong. He will be paying enough fed and state taxes and some of those will go to support those on social programs who don't make a positive contribution to society like a teacher does.

Don't you pay 50% tax on gambling winnings? So, the state will get their cut.

NJ does get a cut. NJ taxes that money.
