Taxpayers can't sustain generous benefits for education employees

Editorial: Taxpayers can't sustain generous benefits for education employees The Detroit News
"A Detroit News survey of Metro Detroit school districts reveals that many have contracts in which teachers pay absolutely nothing for their health care -- in contrast with private sector workers who have faced increasing co-pays and deductibles.

Teachers union officials have responded that teachers have traded pay hikes for benefits.
But Michigan teachers remain relatively highly paid compared to their peers in other states while residents' income has been declining."
