Rep. Matt Gress' $10K Teacher Pay Raise Is Not A
Serious Proposal |
|
"Republican Rep. Matt Gress
is currently touting the benefits of his bill on
teacher salaries. His bill is full of obvious flaws.
For one, it fails to cover the full costs to
districts, who have to spend more on things like
payroll taxes and pension contributions when
salaries go up. When these costs are taken into
account, his proposal will actually cost districts
money, necessitating layoffs or cuts to textbooks or
classroom maintenance. In addition, Gress’ proposal
excludes tens of thousands of valuable educators who
are vital to children’s learning, from counselors to
special education paraprofessionals. Gress’ proposal
also utterly fails to deal with the underlying
issues affecting public education, including the
school funding cap, the draining of public funds to
pay for private schools through vouchers, and the
ongoing consequences of a decade-long
underinvestment in our schools." |

Records Show Lobbyists Donated To Budget Director's
Campaign For AZ House |
|
"Gov.
Doug
Ducey’s budget
director is also running for the state House of
Representatives. To avoid a conflict of interest, he
said he would not take donations from registered
lobbyists during the legislative session. But
records show Republican candidate Matt Gress broke
that promise." |
