Ms. Bazarnick,
In an ideal world you are 100% correct but that is not the world we live in if it were the WSC and WTU would have acted like adults and negotiated out of the public forum but both chose not to do so.
As for your “ideas” Mr. Stark here are my thoughts:
1. Would you support a phasing out of public sector pensions for, say, workers under age 35 and replacing it with a matching defined contribution plan? I could not agree more with this idea but as you know the folks on smith hill will not buy into this idea anytime soon….
2. In making the system "more progressive", would you support a voucher system under which Warwick's children could attend whatever school best met their needs, be it public, private, or parochial? Again this is an issue that would be decided at the State level and not local and this would make it an option in every city and town. Twelve states and the District of Columbia have voucher programs which are run by the states. Many of them are restricted to low-income families. And lets not forget both the State and Federal Constructional issues this raises. http://www.ncsl.org/research/education/voucher-law-comparison.aspx
3. As for the just under $18000 I agree its high but I would like to see the break down and how much goes to the “management” end which is very top heavy.
