While I realize that Wall Street was closed today, my bank was open………so was McDonald’s, Lowes, Barnes and Noble, and Kroger’s…….and even the local movie theatre. The STRS staff wants to have all the perks and benefits of active teachers – like generous sick leave, personal leave, 11 holidays, snow days, college course reimbursements, and, of course, a terrific pension system – but they also want the base salaries and bonuses of the Wall Street gang.

Just talked to CORE member Duke Snider who advised that today he called STRS and the answering machine advised that STRS was closed due to a holiday.

Have a great holiday tomorrow!
