The average income for teachers seems to be $67k in California? That doesn't really sound eye-watering.

There's a lot of people who say "teacher and police unions" or even "public sector unions" when they really mean "just, exactly, police unions."

“Pensions” is the eye-watering part. The retirement programs are great.

Yes, when you consider how little relative time has to be put in to earn that.
