I heard a disturbing bit on Portland area talk radio...the conservative host, Lars Larson, was on a jag about school spending in Oregon. It seems that for every $100 of school spending, $23 goes to P.E.R.S. (Public Employee Retirement System) THE OREGONIAN, (suprisingly, since it's bias is liberal)
ran a front page story on teacher retirements. The front page pic was of a couple, both teachers, lounging by the pool of their Sun City, AZ retirement complex. Both of them in their early 50's, enjoying a combined retirement pay of over 6 figures. Oh, free health, dental, and vision care as well. Yep, the taxpayers of Oregon are generous to the members of the teacher's union.
