ANOTHER "BAIL OUT" THIS TIME FOR THE TEACHERS UNION

During the recent budget negotiations,Yonkers teachers union refused to sacrifice anything to help balance the budget and provide for the children...indeed they let hundreds of their fellow teachers get laid off rather than surrender $16.5 million in raises. As a result, teachers were laid off, programs were canceled, Yonkers municipal swimming programs had to be canceled. Now Congress and the NYS Legislature are about to spend your tax dollars to reward the Union for its refusal to help the children. This is why NY is broke and taxes go up!
