Nonini: ‘Negotiations have swung quite a bit to one side’
Asked why the financial emergency provisions that the Legislature enacted for school districts two years ago, after negotiating with education stakeholders on all sides, are no longer enough, Rep. Bob Nonini said the economy is worse now and school districts suffer in their negotiations with teachers unions. "I believe in the last 31 years those negotiations have swung quite a bit to one side," he said. "This legislation attempts to bring that back to the center."
