Meeting with Richard Lindsey, Chair of the House Education Budget Committee
"Benefit cuts to educational professionals are not in the best interest of the children of Alabama. We must work hard to find alternatives to gutting the benefits of teachers and paraprofessionals. We will not accept having cuts to our medical insurance, our prescription drug program and our retirement dictated to us by PEEHIP and the TRS. We demand a seat at the table."
