Philly Teachers' Salaries
Let's see how long it takes you to find out what we make. Exactly! Not long at all! Go to most charter school websites and you won't see teacher salaries.

PA Legislative Salaries
I was curious to see what our lawmakers here in PA make on average. Here are two sites that I found that give that info:

What did the Governor say recently?
Here's the text:
Appearing at an event today in Philadelphia, Gov. Tom Corbett
defended the state's role in the funding battle. "Forty-five million
dollars in federal funding funneled through the state are contingent on
reforms, including teacher concessions," Corbett said.
"We are working very closely with the local community, with the
School Reform Commission. We've provided some resources, but we also
need to see that there is movement from those same people that are
rallying," said the governor.
Here's the source and the entire article:

Notes:
1. It takes more than 10 years, and advanced degree
AND additional 30 credits to make what a freshman legislator makes
2. It's nice that the governor won't take the increases he's due under the law. But, I think I'd sit nice and comfy in Southwest Philly at $174,914 a year, not too shabby.
3. So, I was curious to see what the governor's salary would be at a 13% cut (approx $152,000). I was also curious to see what 13% of his salary was (approx $22,738). Note: $22,738 is approximately what a little less than 36% of the Philadelphia population makes. So let's just say, about 33% of Philly's population makes nearly $22,738 a year according to ---> http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?src=bkmk
