Gainsharing: RIP

Jim over at 5/17 has the gruesome details. In this month’s WE Magazine they’ve got more about the demise and fall. This needs to be one of those political payback things, where the next time Lisa Brown (or anyone else) comes around looking for support from the teachers she’s going to have to answer the tough question: “Lisa, how can we support you when you weren’t there to support us?”

The give part of the give-and-take is that teachers have a shot at being able to retire without penalty at 62, which means that I’ll have 40 years in. It’s something, I guess, but gainsharing would have been better
