How much do you think teachers should make when most of the them have 3 or 4 months off in a year . If your last mayor made 8 thousend a year he was working part time and doing this on the side or he was retired. If you dont renew your dues you wont be able to fight the wage crimes of the ama.I pay my dues and if they make a good living of my dues a year god bless them. I retire in 6 months ,i might go and apply for a job there or maybe just work for free. joe
