A listening post monitoring public education and teachers’ unions.

$325K Buys a Lot of Mai Tais

Written By: Mike Antonucci - Sep• 26•08

I must admit I don’t have any clue why the National Education Association doesn’t want Hawaii to hold a constitutional convention, but union officials were worried enough about it last year to spend $20,000 polling the issue, and this year they have dropped $325,000 into a campaign to prevent a Hawaii ConCon from happening.

The only hint is the claim that it could “diminish bargaining rights, access to health care and retirement benefits” if the state Constitution were changed.

Uh, or it could improve bargaining rights, access to health care and retirement benefits if the state Constitution were changed. So who is it that NEA is afraid of?
