I completely agree that they are under paid and we need good legislators who serve the people and not corporate overlord’s. I just want us all to get along, negotiate policy. Our current system is gotcha politics. Not letting the governor have her agency heads is petty and does not serve the people. And I’m sure it works both ways with some vetos. I’m frustrated by the lack of respect for our federal and state workers by the executive branch of the federal government. By the way, teachers work their buts off when not in school. All summer they are preparing for next year. I have 4 teachers in my family who work in Arizona schools. Don’t be fooled. Thank you for serving your county.

I sense that you are an idealist-I true to be a realist. As to the corporate overlords, the situation is has always been in every country, under every form of government-money finds power and power finds money-that will never change.

I am aware of the teacher's load. I am a board member of a charter school.

Sir, you do not know me. Pigeon holing me is rude and uncalled for. Your “realism” is a pock on our government. There will be a no vote until members of the congressional majority party stop acting like childish bullies. If you think voters think don’t agree; put it to the people. By the way, Citizens United was the worst decision the Roberts court has made.

I sense that you exaggerate. Spare us the homilies regarding money and power. Hoffman, Finchem, and Peterson get the same puny $24K/year from the State of AZ. They are overpaid.
