LIBERAL REWARDS

I guess you need a clearer example of how the left reward the workhorses of the movement.

Today's Post and Courier has it in black and white for you in an article today: Pleased board gives Goodloe vacation gift

I must be in the wrong business, because the station I work for just received more data on how we're doing...and we're doing very well. If I worked as effectively as Dr Goodloe apparently does, I should be getting an extra vacation...but you see...I work in the real world.

Dr Goodloe, having been the superintendent for all of 8 months or so, will be getting an extra 10-days of vacation this year as a reward for doing a good job.

In the same article, the report includes the following:

"...[the board passed] the $276.8 million budget for the coming school year.
Board members Hugh Cannon and Sandi Engelman abstained from the vote adopting the budget, which includes a tax increase of about $29.17 on the average home, valued at $173,673..."


So mission accomplished...they raised taxes. Mission number 2?

"...The budget includes an average 3.9 percent pay increase for district employees..."

Raised salaries...check. And the final mission?

"...the district's more than $60 million shortfall in its building program..."

Fraud. Yep...I could do with a little of the ole liberal performance pay bonuses, you know? That 10-day vacation is about $4800...almost enough to send a child to a decent private school in South Carolina. But don't ask her to give it to some needy child in Charleston...after all the hard work she's been doing, she needs the extra vacation.
