The blame game

Teacher's suicide Walker's fault?

In further proof that sheer, despicable evil knows no boundaries, Wisconsin "progressives" (Liberal/Socialists) and their willing accomplices in the media are trying to hang a teacher's suicide around Governor Scott Walker's neck. This woman clearly had more problems than just having to pay a slight increase in her premiums. I mean come on, really?? How many people have you heard of killing themselves over higher gas prices? Let's take a look at the reasons this woman had to be so distraught over the premium increase, shall we?

This is Ms Betts information:

First name: Jeri-Lynn
Last name: Betts
Year and session: 2009/10
Highest degree: Master’s degree
Salary $71,808 (how many teachers in other states make anywhere close to this?)
Fringe $18,234 (this her benefits and perks)
Position title: Teacher
Assign descript: Early Childhood Special Education
Low grade served: PK
High grade served: PK
Bilingual code: No
Full time equivalency: 100%
Work site: Watertown Sch Dist / Schurz Elementary
County name: Jefferson County

Her total compensation, salary + benefits and perks, comes to $89K a year. That is double + what I make each year and I haven't gone out and killed myself over having to pay higher gas prices. That's because I am somewhat sane and rational. Clearly, she was not. I am sorry, I can't muster up even a speck of sympathy for her.
