Alex Sink Against SB 6

No surprise on this one but state CFO Alex Sink, the frontrunner to be the Democratic gubenatorial nominee, just announced via news release that she opposes SB 6, the teacherperformance pay bill being sponsored by Sen. John Thrahser, R-St. Augustine.

"These proposals are bad for our children and our state," Sink said in the release. "As a mother whose two children went to Florida public schools, I feel strongly that our local school districts should be the ones making these kinds of decisions for our students and teachers -- not politicians in Tallahassee. I also have a serious problem with placing even more unfunded mandates on our local school districts, as they are already facing significant budget concerns."
