Arnold Engel will only be satisfied when teachers have to pay the district to teach, instead of vice versa. The staff just voted for a zero percent raise and no step raises for three years. Teachers voted to accept a percentage of payment on insurance of 10-15 percent. High school teachers doubled their classes and students, when scheduling went from block to a seven-period schedule with half the preparation time. There have been layoffs in all areas. If this isn’t representing our students and community by the board of education, what is, Arnold? It is time for you to stop complaining.

I want to know where all these big totes that people do not want are — because I wish I had one. My little square recycling bin overflows every week.

The difference between a Democrat and a Republican is very simple. When a Republican gets involved in a public scandal or an ethics issue, they resign and walk away from public life. When a Democrat gets into trouble, the liberal media has a pity party for them. They don’t always quit or they end up with their own TV show on CNN, like Elliot Spitzer. That is the difference between the two parties: Hypocrisy and doing the right thing.
