Chellie Pingree, Senate Majority Leader
North Haven
Brad
...I agree with you
on this issue and hope that the legislature will address it during this
session. ... Thanks for writing
this. I am sorry to see all that teachers have had to go through with this
fingerprinting disaster. However, as a legislator, I must say I really
appreciate the many teachers who are contacting us to express their
frustrations with the way we have been regarding teachers for many years.
The last two Governors have been hard on teachers in areas as diverse as
retirement cuts to underfunding local districts and the legislature has not
been able or willing to fight back. I am very pleased to see teachers
saying that they are going to make sure their voices are heard.
