It strikes me as funny how the Liberals and the teachers keep stating how the money in the budget is all about the kids. Janesville is considering a tax increase of 2% or 4% or 6% for the budget shortfalls. Each percentage comes with fewer things cut out of the budget. Speaking as a taxpayer without any kids in the Janesville school system - why do I have to pay more to insure that the teachers continue to get a pay raise and benefits paid for (I didn't get one this year or 2 years ago).
It is my opinion that the teachers take a pay freeze - take some furlough days and let the kids keep all of the programs that will be cut by the budget shortfall.
