Oh, I think someone called me that last year during budget as well.  Sorry, not her. But I understand how budgets work.   Asking for a raise and not getting it does not equal a pay cut.   If my daughter asks for 5 toys for Christmas and only gets 3, she has not suffered a 40% reduction in toys.  [/quote]

FYI quasi-Janis, teachers didn't "ask" for a raise and then didn't get it.  Teachers had a CONTRACTED raise of 5.3% that they GAVE BACK to the County.  So yeah, the person who talks about a pay cut is correct.  Teachers haven't received their CONTRACTED salaries for the past three years.  That's a pay cut!

Now go on back to lapping up everything Janis has to say over on her blog.  She loves the attention![/quote]

I know all about the contract. Something tells me, however, that you yourself have never read it. Otherwise you would know that it has a provision in it specifying that any item in the contract that is dependent on public funding (like negotiated raises) is subject to and contingent upon funding approval by the County Council.   No contract was broken.

Basic civics lesson: in this county, the Council has complete appropriation authority. Any contract with the government is subject to appropriation of funds by the Council.[/quote]
