What is the status quo for a teacher in Connecticut?
Fair question...I looked it up..

In CT, the average teacher salary is $59,304.

In CT, the average salary overall is $51,000.

When you throw in benefits (particularly healthcare and retirement), that difference widens considerably.

Public servents should not make that much more than everyone else. If the benefits are so rich that current tax levels fall far short of fubnding them, then the benefits are not reasonable.
