Despite challenges from the streetwalkers and organized factions, the data was correct as it was culled directly from the MIPS presentations. Simply stated, the average salary plus benefits exceeded $100,000 per year. Guess what the average salary is in Milwaukee!

Well, gosh, I don’t know. What is the average salary PLUS BENEFITS for a college graduate in Milwaukee? What is the average salary plus benefits for a person with a Master’s Degree plus, say, 15 years on the job in Milwaukee? What is the average seniority of teachers in Milwaukee, and how many have advanced degrees?
Frankly, I don’t care enough to look it up. But I question your stats.<<<
What part of my stats do you question? I am not used to misquote facts but anyone might make an error. Did I spell 100,000 incorrectly because the number is surely accurate. Or was accurate before courageous leaders brought an end to the follies of extorted CBA that added as much as 74 % of the salaries in the form of benefits, or about three times what private sector workers received.
