Edwards Proposes $500 Teacher Pay Rise Political Clash
Gov. Edwin Edwards pledges a $500 yearly rise for Louisiana teachers and scores the LTA lobbyists for a $1,200 plan. He proposes a 5 percent raise for other staff, ties funds to two extra training days, and seeks $30 million more in the general appropriations bill. Edwards defends his plan against Gibbs and calls the $1,200 proposal counter-productive while urging budget balance and avoiding major changes to the appropriations bill.
