Meg Not Good for Schools

Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate at Dominican College in San Rafael may have gotten a bit too confrontational for some, but despite the grenades hurled back and forth, Jerry Brown continued to show his support for California educators. That occurred when moderator Tom Brokaw asked Brown about the role of the teachers union in California. Brown responded: “It is a very important role, since they represent, through free elections, hundreds of thousands of teachers in California classrooms. They’re a very strong advocate for more money for schools. And that’s very important, particularly when you have people like Meg Whitman coming around wanting to cut the capital gains tax and put a $5 billion hole, which a certain amount of that will certainly come from schools.”
