Paul Stanley and the GOP oppose fair wages
Read all about it right here.
At least the Senate Dems are finally standing up and voting "no" to nonsense like this.

Andy Berke on Education
Senator Andy Berke is right. We need a great teacher in every classroom!
That's possible with a comprehensive reform that includes his Teacher Fellows program to attract the best and brightest college students to the teaching profession.
It also means providing meaningful support by way of mentoring for 1st- and 2nd- year teachers.
And incentive pay for the highest-performing teachers to help keep them in the profession.
We should 1) raise salaries for all TN teachers to the national average and 2) reward the best teachers through a system that includes multiple measures to evaluate success
We should also more systematically use value-added data to improve classroom teaching and yes, to help remove ineffective teachers.
We can't just raise pay and attract bright people, we've also got to have accountability that results in keeping the best teachers and removing the worst.
