  • Funny how folks think public officials; public K-12 school systems, their administrators, teachers and support staff; community colleges and public universities operate in a parallel universe that is impervious to inflation, rising energy prices, interest rates, and other economic conditions.

  • Incidentally, I did not know that a 5.4% raise was modest. I guess I must be new to the USA work force. My opinion.

    • To be honest, my annual increase this year was 3.5% and I could have done better job hopping but I’m content where I am.
