You can't just blame the town, not here in CT anyway. I have been involved iin two teachers contract negotiations. Both times, the board of ed and the teachers unions could not agree, so according to laws common here in CT, it goes to binding arbitration. So the contracts get decided by arbiters who are not answerable to the citizens who get stuck with the bill.
Teh teachers unions, in the 2 negotiations I was involved in, were unbelievable. If I suggested that teachers could survive with 401(k)'s like everyone else, I get accused of hating education and not caring about kids.
Teachers unions want more and more insane benefits, and they could not care less about the tax burden that they pass on to the public which they claim to "serve".
