The generous governor of Arizona proposed a pay hike for teachers
An astounding 2% phased in over 5 years. That works out to less than $10 a pay period. It's a 0.4% raise/year for teachers who are already grossly undercompensated compared to those with similar education and training.
But of course, the corporate tax cuts remain.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
