In an interview with Sly this morning, gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Falk became the first candidate to come out strong against Scott Walker's new Act 10 implementation rule that gives School Boards the "tool" to balance their budgets by not including approximately 30% in teacher salaries that comes from so-called educational add-ons. (School boards can restore that 30% funding outside of the teacher salary contracts, but the rule will give them the political cover to make pay cuts.)
Falk spoke out against the rule and said she would repeal it:
...
Sly: I have a lot of teachers that listen on their way to work. Scott Walker, attacking the base wages of teachers and going after the, taking away the wonderful work they've done with coninuing education... that wasn't part of Act 10, he did that the other day by, uh...
Falk: by rule
Sly: ...with the signature of a pen, by rule-- will you repeal that?
Falk: Yes. And it's an example of the abuse because of the power he gave himself to control the rule making process from beginning to end.
