The generous governor of Arizona proposed a pay hike for teachers

An astounding 2% phased in over 5 years. That works out to less than $10 a pay period. It's a 0.4% raise/year for teachers who are already grossly undercompensated compared to those with similar education and training.

But of course, the corporate tax cuts remain.
