The district should not spend any additional money towards teacher salary and/or benefits if doing so will require the district to reduce teaching positions and increase classroom sizes to pay for them in order to meet its budget. We should hope the union would see the benefit of smaller class sizes on their members workload and student performance but to date, they have continued to insist on additional wage and benefit increases even though the district indicates that such demands could mean the loss of as many as 40+ teaching positions.

If they didn’t change or redact it, what explains this?

Wisconsin State  Senator Dan Kapanke released this gem of liberal tolerance and compassion:

WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN.
WE WILL SLIT YOUR THROATS.
WE WILL DRINK YOUR BLOOD.
I WILL HAVE YOUR DECAPITATED HEAD ON A PIKE IN THE MADISON TOWN SQUARE.
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING.

 That’s a nice business you got there. Pity if anything were to happen to it if, say, you didn’t toe the line and denounce Governor Walker like we’re asking nice-like.

DEATH THREATS

Seattle, WA, is among the worst sanctuary cities in the United States. In June 2010, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes enacted a new policy which protects illegal aliens convicted of misdemeanors from deportation. The previous policy was to use a 365-day sentence when anyone was convicted of a gross misdemeanor – this meant the individual could then be considered an “aggravated felon” and ICE would review the case for deportation.  The new policy is to request a maximum of 364 days in jail for legal and illegal immigrants in order to not tip-off ICE agents to the offending illegal alien.  A Seattle ordinance also prohibits police officers from investigating a suspect’s immigration status, unless they have committed a felony.

Republican Rep. Dan Lungren of California, the chairman of the House Administration Committee, is the one who dropped the biodegradables. He says the new products are higher quality than the biodegradable stuff — some of which fell apart.
“I mean, I got more complaints from members of Congress and staff — particularly staff — about forks that would bend, knives that wouldn’t cut,” he says. “And I got complaints about the cups — that you’d have to put two or three of them together so that you could hold it with a hot beverage.”

But it was the $475,000 composting program in the House-side cafeterias that stirred the most controversy. Designed to cut down on waste, it instituted the use of biodegradable utensils and trays made of cornstarch — an idea that may have worked better in theory than in practice, as it led to take-away boxes that leaked, spoons that melted and forks that broke when stuck into so much as a chicken tender.
Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif., chairman of the Committee on House Administration, announced last month that the composting program would be suspended indefinitely, contending “it is neither cost-effective nor energy-efficient.”

The “Dear Colleague” … is titled “Cancer Causing Cups in the Cafeteria?”…Blumenauer argues that the new plastic foam containers are putting House employees and visitors at risk. The International Association for Research on Cancer classifies styrene as a “potential human carcinogen,” he wrote, and can cause “extensive health effects.”

“If CAIR and $1.8 million from [left-wing billionaire George] Soros could get them jiggered up enough to push to fire Juan Williams,” Adeleye said, “I mean, what do you think $5 million from the Muslim Brotherhood would do? I’m sure we’d get them a few Muslim voices, because, like he said, ‘it’s unfair to not have Muslim voices represented because not having them would be like when we didn’t have women.’”

It’s also a question Ann Coulter brought up on Hannity last night. Good question. She also believes Rep Peter King ought to investigate THAT too.

When I heard that lib talker Ed Schultz admitted to using PAID FAKE callers, I thought, Well, Taft, you were wrong–you believed the big boys don’t use them because they barely take callers and don’t need them. But then I remembered, we’re talking about Ed Schultz for crying out loud. He’s not a big boy. Herewith is your liberal-phantasmagorical-dream-of-a-talk-show-host admitting he paid callers:

To be eligible for the ranking—compiled by research firm VentureSource, a unit of Wall Street Journal owner News Corp.—companies must have received an equity round of financing in the past three years and be valued at less than $1 billion, as the aim is to identify lesser-known contenders. That excludes a number of prominent companies, including Facebook, Twitter and Groupon Inc. Some 5,743 candidates were considered.
