Don't Forget the Retired Teachers
Govenor Rick Perry,
Retired teachers in Texas have not had a raise for at least ten years. This is shameful. We worked diligently with our state's most precious asset; our children. We have earned a fully funded retirement.

Why is this important?
Retired teachers in Texas have not had a raise in over ten years. While the cost of living rises annually, we fall further and further behind financially.
The Texas legislature has, over the years, used education monies for a number of other pursuits. We wish to have our retirements considered significant enough to be fully funded.
