http://www.chn.orgThe Teachers and First Responders Back to Work Act (S. 1723) will save or create nearly 400,000 education jobs through critical investments in the education of our nation’s children. With the majority of states facing budget shortfalls in 2012 totaling more than $100 billion, cuts to state and local spending on education place thousands of teaching jobs at risk.
This act will provide states with an additional $30 billion in funds that will support nearly 400,000 education jobs, in addition to $5 billion to keep thousands of police officers and firefighters working. The $35 billion cost of the bill will be paid for by asking millionaires to pay their fair share with a surcharge of less than 1 percent on income over $1 million.
