STATE: Workers could help others

I am just wondering if all of the Republican teachers I know realize what they have done. No state workers will take cuts in a ridiculous amount of holiday pay or anything else, they will instead take cuts from kids, the disabled and the mentally ill. If state employees would even be willing to give up one paid holiday a year it would save millions. Come on, Columbus Day?
