28. The great state of Arizonaee..

Aug 2015

...isn't far behind. We now have a Koch Bros. governor and a lacky right wing legislature along with pukes holding every state wide elective office.

It doesn't bode well for teachers and students in Arizona. I was a teacher (now retired) and saw first hand the decline in public education in this state (1977-2010). Illness caused me to retire with practically nothing saved for retirement. I exhausted savings for a year. Found a job on the Navajo reservation and finally became too sick to work in 2010. I now am barely surviving on my SSDI and a small federal pension. I am now among the Arizona poorest residents.
