A pair of Democratic state lawmakers are pushing a plan to make it easier for teachers to get larger pay raises. Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and state Rep. Kathleen Willis both want to rollback a state law that requires local schools to pay the pension cost for any teacher raise over three percent. Supporters say the law is designed to stop end of career raises that cost taxpayers down the line. Bertino-Tarrant and Willis say the three percent cap is hurting efforts to find and keep qualified teachers.
