No one seems to care as much as you'd like them to, as evidenced by the lack of people coming to budget meetings held by the school district and city and county governments. The make up of salaries and bennies in a budget isn't going to change much, so do you anything else to offer or are you just going to keep whining about it like a few others and a couple school board members we have?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-40855935109997008042010-02-09T08:49:55.508-06:002010-02-09T08:49:55.508-06:00Green Bay is going to cut staff

They skim money from the fat of the land via state and local taxes. There is no fat left, no muscle left, and now they wish to chew our bones. Without the porkulous bailout for state gov't, we'd have been forced to face the harsh reality of reducing the size of the public sector earlier. <br />The fact is, Oshcorp jobs put money into the system, while public sector jobs are a drain.<br />Your assertion that Oshcorp puts nothing back into the system is so myopic as to be truly a stupid statement. Ask yourself, how much tax does the school pay? Oshcorp (private sector) pays into the system, while OASD (public sector) draws from the system.felix86noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-88941665585541874462010-02-05T21:36:22.252-06:002010-02-05T21:36:22.252-06:00There are those who contribute to the productive p...There are those who contribute to the productive part of society, and those who do not.

The guys is more hateful and nasty than Teresa Theil and Karen Bowen. <br /><br />His recent rant was:<br /><br />Wed at 10:23am<br />Yesterday afternoon, the Oshkosh Educational Association (ie. the teachers' union) held a candidates forum. All five candidates were invited. Only three of us showed up. Steve Dedow, Steve Eliason and I answered questions and had an interesting conversation with the many teachers who were there. I hope everyone takes note of who is looking for input from all constituencies and who is not!<br /> <br />I came away with a list of teacher concerns:<br /> <br /><br />WE SHOULD ALL BE CONCERNED ABOUT ANOTHER LIBERAL REACHING OUT TO THE TEACHERS UNION WHEN THE TEACHER UNION IS THE LARGEST PART OF THE BUDGET. IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE VOTING FOR JUST DAN BECKER NEXT ELECTION AS THE OTHERS NOW PUT THEMSELVES INTO A COMPROMISING POSITION SEEKING THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE LARGEST COST OF THE BUDGET.<br /><br />Karl 'Marx' Lowenstein seems to think he has so much support out there he can cast stones, however, I'll point out, the guy knows nothing about the school district and is only running because Karen Bowen recruited him. I guess birds of a feather flock together. <br /><br />Good luck Dan, even though you don't need it, you will need it dealing with these extremists next term and will be the ONLY ONE I vote for in April!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-72284767003227540132010-02-05T08:10:03.855-06:002010-02-05T08:10:03.855-06:00Oh when Obama comes marching in, Oh when Obama com...Oh when Obama comes marching in, Oh when Obama comes marching in....<br /><br />Go Saints!
