Well.. well.. well!! The Honorable Gov. Bob Riley is showing his true colors!!! This "Ethics Reform" he speaks of so humbly is merely an attack on the Alabama Education Association because they did not support Mr. Bradley Burne!! I ask you...Would ANYONE in their right mind vote for someone who spoke openly of their contempt for school bus drivers, lunchroom workers, classroom aides, custodians, ball coaches, teachers and principals? Many of those people I have mentioned have incomes that are FAR below the poverty level!! The truth is: We roll out every day and take care of your children and still cannot afford to feed our families! We are your neighbors and friends! We care for your children each and every day! Please know this is nothing more than MORE government control of all our lives! It will NOT stop here! This is ONLY the beginning!!!
Good grief. The people you listed are not doing volunteer or public service work. They are getting paid for a job and recieving excellent benefits. Throw in all the time off from work and I would say they have it pretty good.
If the people footing the bill for the poor job performance by SOME in the teaching profession, had a say so, then we might see some teachers who could not feed their family due to unemployment.
(Please note I said SOME not all)
