Again, the average Milwaukee school teacher receives a little more than $100,000 of salary and benefits for 9 months work. Asking them to pay 5.8% for their defined benefit pension and 12.6% of their health insurance premium is a long way from $10/hour, don't you think? And if the plan passes, not one public employee would have to be laid off. Any friends, neighbors or relatives of yours victims of the real unemployment rate of 17-18%? </blockquote>
