Governor Jerry Brown and California Federal Teachers Union

We’re not very good at managing money in California, are we? On the other hand, Jerry Brown is very good at sucking up to unions. I am especially resentful because teachers’ unions continue to get priority funding in California, for no reason at all.

And in the cartoon, of course I was referencing a mafia Don, or organized crime boss, and how one needs to kiss his ring to stay safe. 😉

One union, California Teachers Association, actually named the Governor Education Governor of the year. Whatever.

I didn’t know Jerry Brown actually founded 2 charter schools himself. But he balked on taking data from the schools and tracking children all through the grades.

From my weekly cartoon feature on California news & politics. Try out this California cartoon for powerpoint, state journals, newsletters, blogs, books, etc. Details here.

ID #120319e        Caption: UNION POWER in action! Of course, I bow and change my tax proposal to suit you… (Gov Jerry Brown bows to union leader, Calfornia Federal Teachers Union, and kisses his ring like the union guy is the Mafia.  Little canary bird says: Even though you’re already 2 billion dollars short! (meaning the California budget.)
