uhhhhhh.....WTF!? Looks like the LA schools will never reopen. Eva. Some of the demands are somewhat reasonable for protection. However, many of them are a from some libtard wish list that Soros probably provided to them. What tax rate is required to meet all of its demands in LA county? 150%? I am not sure if there will be any money left for all of the other libtards. I am getting the popcorn ready for the LAUSD vs LAPPL union battle. https://justthenews.com/politics-po...m=feed&utm_campaign=external-news-aggregators L.A. teachers union says schools can't reopen unless charter schools get shut down, police defunded LINK TO LAUSD/UTLA DOC Some excerpts of the demands below: Student and staff symptom and temperature screening before entering buses or school buildings Additional support for parents who have vulnerable individuals in the household to be able to stay home to reduce chances of infection and death Strong programs for free and widespread influenza vaccination for students and staff No standardized testing infringing on instructional time Compensatory services for students with disabilities, including extra supports where needed for transitioning back into the school setting Libraries, parks, and public health programs are planning for catastrophic cuts. Meanwhile, U.S. billionaire wealth has surged by more than $584 billion.57 Over 150 of those billionaires live in California. There is money to safely restart schools, if federal, state, and local governments are willing to finally prioritize pupils over plutocrats FEDERAL SUPPORT 1. Federal Bailout: Many experts are calling for at least $500 billion in additional federal assistance this year, and a commitment to continue support over several years. 4. Medicare for All: STATE SUPPORT The California Schools and Local Communities Funding Act of 2020, aka Schools and Communities First: This proposition on the November 2020 ballot will increase funding to education and local government by reassessing property tax of commercial and industrial properties valued at $3 million or more from 1978 assessments to current assessment values. Projected to add $7.5 billion to $12 billion a year with 40% allocated to schools and 60% added to local governments Wealth Tax: A new tax on unrealized capital gains to California billionaires only, 1% a year until capital gains taxes are met. This would generate an estimated $10 billion a year initially. Millionaire Tax: Add a 1% surtax on incomes over $1 million a year, and 3% for over $3 million a year. This would generate an estimated $4.5 billion-plus a year. LOCAL SUPPORT Defund Police: Police violence is a leading cause of death and trauma for Black people, and is a serious public health and moral issue. We must shift the astronomical amount of money devoted to policing, to education and other essential needs such as housing and public health. Housing Security: There is no “safer at home” for those who do not have a home. Students need stability, and cities have the power to pass ordinances to prevent evictions and provide rental relief funds. Instead of just one-time relief, as was passed by the LA City Council in June 2020, housing can be a human right assisted by the state. Additionally, as Project Roomkey has demonstrated, sheltering the homeless community is a matter of political will, not scarce resources. 67 Over 15,000 homeless students in LAUSD need permanent shelter. Paid Sick Leave: Parents should not have to decide between staying home with a sick child or going to work in order to be paid. All cities in LAUSD’s boundaries should follow LA City Council’s lead and require ten additional sick days, and expand those sick days to require it of all businesses. Charter Moratorium: Privately operated, publicly funded charter schools drain resources from district schools — and many have “double-dipped” during this crisis by taking federal small business bailout loans even though state funding did not decline this school year. 70 In addition, colocation adds students to campuses when we need to reduce the number of students to allow for physical distancing. Financial Support for Undocumented Students and Families: California’s more than 2 million undocumented residents are by and large ineligible for state and federal benefits. Even if their children are US citizens, in the era of ICE raids and mass deportations, many undocumented parents are too fearful to apply for benefits for their children. California undocumented immigrants disproportionately pay taxes without benefits, paying an estimated $4.5 billion in federal taxes and $2.5 billion in California state taxes in 2018.71 Immigrant students and workers, so vital to our schools and our economy, must be supported during this crisis.
LMAO Fire the entire fucking union and start over. These people are employees they should “demand” nothing and just be happy to have jobs. Taxpayers are not there to be fleeced for the demands of unions!! Enough already
Yep. Also, I have seen numerous CRE investors including institutional investors state that they are no longer investing in blue states. I just hope those assholes don't come to Texas and start voting blue.
