Decreased Pay for Teachers

Teachers have now received their first decreased paycheck.  Comments are being made that some local business owners feel they are being boycotted by teachers.  We're not boycotting; we have 8-10% less income.  Did you really not think ahead that this would have an impact on your business?!  The figure being quoted last spring was about $7 million in loss of income in our county alone .  We can't spend what we don't have.
