Me? My "pay" was docked when Governor Quinn raised my state income tax by 67%. 'Course teacher pensions don't count. They're state-tax free. So it doesn't come of their pockets. My "pay" was docked last year when my real estate tax bill went up by 15%.
Teachers pay the same income taxes you do. Why should they have to shoulder an additional share of the state's financial problems on top of the share that everybody else takes on?
Regardless, your state income tax rate is only 5%... World's tiniest violin...
