Recession Relapse

Omaha is doing better than much of the country, or at least that is what I thought before the Omaha Public School (OPS) board voted 12-0 in favor of layoffs. Now 8,224 people, administrators, teachers, trainers and principals, are sitting at home fearing for their jobs. I mean sure, it never paid that much, but it was always secure. That, and summer vacation, has always been the calling card of the profession. Though I admire OPS for being able to play hardball with the dismal budget situation it would be better pitched at other exspenses.
