Vote YES on Issue 2!

I may not convince anybody to change their NO votes tomorrow to a YES but mark my words: If SB5 is repealed tomorrow, you will absolutely, positively see higher taxes, more layoffs and more budget problems for the schools. How else can the state pay for everything? There aren't going to be any more stimulus packages to shore up the union pensions (which are currently unsustainable and the very reason for the stimulus packages). Pay freezes and larger classrooms that are happening right now are BECAUSE there is no more stimulus money (that's the "loss of Federal Funding" part in your school newsletter) and the state is obligated by contract to pay the union pensions and benefits FIRST (the newsletter left THAT part out), so now there isn't enough money left for the schools and currently working teachers. Keep things the way they are and things will surely get much worse. Please vote YES on Issue 2 Tuesday!
