HAMMOND: Knows what he's saying

In response to Ms. Sorensen in Friday’s letter to the editor about Jim Hammond on not knowing what teachers go through. I personally know Sen. Hammond and know for a fact that he was a teacher and educator in the Post Falls school district. He therefore knows what teachers go through, and he spent probably as many hours or more while he was working as Ms. Sorensen did.

It would be nice if she would check her facts before downgrading such a fine person. That said I have no problem with teachers making more money for their duty to teach to the best of their ability.
