AYE. There's no reason we should be subsidizing private education. Let's provide excellent public schools.

I was hoping that we could get more accomplished in this bill. Sadly, audacity is a rare commodity these days.

I still want to be audacious, and will present an amendment tomorrow...

Good, though considering your the source, I worry that your definition of audacity differs from mine. Care to hint as to what it is? Wink

I offer the following amendment as a substitution.

Not sure if this fits Yankee's definition of audacity.... Wink I feel like we could turn this into a more comprehensive bill myself, actually, but I'm not sure how to proceed and what exactly we should do.

Open for ideas and suggestions.

I don't know if I'm too keen on section 4. We're already exempting teachers from a substantial amount of tax. They should be saving some of that money for retirement on their own. Why throw them another gift? It seems a little excessive. I don't want it to look like we're favouring teachers in a way that's unfair to people in other professions.

No particular problem with Section 3, but does Section 4 apply to all teachers or merely the ones who qualify for the above tax exemptions? I don't think we should necessarily reward a long tenure for its own sake.

I would happily vote for this if Section 4 were eliminated. Smiley
