Well, it's not that we like the status quo, believe me. Unfortunately, we (the teachers) need the property taxes to fund our salaries. I'm a teacher in the lowest-paying district in Bergen County; it's also one of the lowest in the entire state. We're in the middle of contract negotiations now, fighting to get a raise. I'm in my 8th year, and my salary does not equal what some kids fresh out of college are getting hired at in their first year in other towns. Damn, this is more frustrating every day.
