Deena Bishop showcases why she is part of the problem , and not any part of the solution. She uses fear lines like " drastically devastate " and " severely and negatively impact " education.  With her annual budget in the hundreds of millions of dollars she screams fire over such a small amount being cut ? Give me a break !  She wasn't a good enough spokesperson for the ASD so she had to take money from the classroom and blow it to pay a lobbyist to speak for her in Juneau. She asks why many are screaming for education to be cut . Because we see too much waste and people like her fighting to keep from cutting that waste. We aren't against education--we are against waste. If education means so much to her and teachers , and 90 percent of the budget is to pay her and teachers--why aren't they offering a pay cut of 5 percent to help or a pay freeze for a few years ? The bottom line is clear--Bishop and teachers care about themselves and to heck with saving the state or taxpayers money .
