54 Worcester Teachers Getting the Axe


It just business as usual in good old Worcester. Cut out where you need it most.

Fifty-four teachers will not have jobs at the end of this school year as was reported in the Worcester Telegram. All were notified this past Wednesday. All non-tenured teachers will be the first to go.

It's time to get rid of the tenure system and start rating these teachers by performance. Tenure, is a joke.

I don't want to knock all tenured teachers here because I'm sure there are many great ones. But the ones that are just riding out the wave and buying their time should be the first that the school committee looks at to cut.

Its time to weed out the garden because it's starting to get choked out.

Our kids are Worcester's future and right now, the future is looking grim.

Welcome to Woostah, Now Pay Up.



As reported in today's Worcester Telegram.
Get ready to get it shoved up your ass again with yet another proposed tax hike.

Mr. Manager,
How much more do you think the citizens of Worcester can handle? If you haven't noticed, people are out of work. We are already paying through the roof with city taxes and now you propose yet another tax hike.

I must commend you though, fore you are doing a fantastic job. A fantastic job at doing nothing to attract people to come to Worcester to possibly settle down, and nothing to keep the people that are already here.

Even In Death, Kennedy Is Costing Us Money

This is really upsetting. As if I don't have enough to pay for.

I just read in the Boston Herald how Sen. John F. Kerry and Rep Edward J. Markey are putting the taxpayers on the hook for a temple for the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

How's $68 million sound to you?

Sen. Kerry and Rep. Markey, first of all. I don't care about a temple to the late Sen. Kennedy. This is not the time to be worried about paying for a shrine.

Maybe a small section in the Welfare office could be put aside with the late Senators picture, put a few candles bought from Target in there and there you have it. Instant shrine. Probably cost you no more than $100 at the most. Far less than your ridiculous $68 million.

Use your time and energy on the real issues that are burdening this state. Start with jobs.

But if you must, why not tap into some of that Kennedy fortune. There's a great piece of property in Hyannis Ma. that could be sold off to fund part of the construction. The taxpayer should not be forced to pay a single dime for this "Temple".

How does everyone else feel about this? I'm curious to see how many will be happy to flip the bill.

See you in November.
