Mabe if the teachers salaries and benefit were cut to those of private industry , there would be enough money left over to fix the roads. When teachers want more money or benefits all they do is raise the school taxes. This is public money, every time you raise the taxes you screw the public..Fire all the teachers and start over again, set the new starting salaries at $ 25,000 per year..Merge all schools into regional schools..You'll save a fortune in school superintendent salaries..
