Obama signs emergency bill to halt teacher layoffs
The 26 billion aid package backed mainly by Democrats would save about 300000 jobs including teachers and police. Obama signed the measure as Washington lawmakers convened briefly to prevent further pink slips before the new school year. The bill funds 10 billion for districts to rehire teachers and 16 billion to extend Medicaid payments, with others noting it helps state budgets and public workers while Republicans criticize it as wasteful overreach.
