Here’s where to cut
In response to the budget crisis in education, I propose the following statewide salary cuts in all nonteaching, administrative positions in the public schools, community colleges and university system: 10 percent cut in salaries from $100,000 to $149,999; 20 percent cut in salaries from $150,000 to $199,999; 25 percent cut in all salaries that total more than $200,000. These high-salaried people have the most to give with the least pain, and the money saved could be used in the classroom.

Amen!
On top of that, effective immediately, make all government employees provide for their own housing. No more special mansions provided for the Governor, UNC president, Chancellors and the like.

I agree with the author of the letter, and Good Lord, I agree with you, too, truth, 100%.
I'm a little frightened. :-D

Tony,
These letters naturally put you on one side or the other but I tend to think most of us would agree on more things than we disagree on.
For instance, my significant other and I disagree on abortion, health care, and a lot of race issues. But I wouldn't take anybody in the world for her.

I understand and agree, truth, thus the great big "grinnie." :-D
