1. See Senator Karen Peterson’s comments in this morning’s article in delawareonline. She is dead on about people trading benefits for pay. This is a social contract that is now broken and retirees are being blamed by Carney and his ilk when this problem was first raised in 2005. It’s taken 17 years to get a grip on this problem? By the way, Carney was Lt. Gov. in 2005.
2. How will this affect you? One example–We are already seeing the result of low pay with the large number of teacher vacancies in Delaware. People have no incentive to teach our children when they can drive to other states for higher pay.
3. To DSEA—Thanks for throwing your retirees under the bus! These people taught my daughter and many other Delaware children, and I am appalled at your lack of concern for the welfare of Your retirees. You are dreaming if you think that you will get larger salaries for current teachers in return that will compensate for this betrayal of your retirees.
4. The GA has done nothing. Other than a few brave souls such as Kowalko, Lynne, Wilson Anton, and Ennis, it has been crickets. These folks will be on this plan after they retire so although they were duped by the Carney crew into voting for this, they refuse to do anything about it. They do not deserve your vote in November.
