So inreality, the teachers should received even more money. As a retired teacher, I can assure you that teacher retirement in Florida does not make you a rich person. I get less than 1/2 my salary for retirement, and out of that I purchase my own health insurance. That means Ilive on 1/3 of my retirement.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-33223152127053753882013-11-17T19:26:58.446-07:002013-11-17T19:26:58.446-07:00Where you said "where" you meant "w...Where you said "where" you meant "we're" right?<br /><br />Teachers didn't get $2500 because the DTU President said that all union members needed to get their fair share.

(Yes, I know trusting the legislature for a recurrence is a foolish endeavor. But I can always keep a tiny light of hope alive.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544213160574214282noreply@blogger.com
