Lockport Education Association

@ForwardSaratoga @PolicyEngineer Those assessments have been a fraud in an attempt to show public schools are falling since their inception. The tests are scored and then the cut scores are determined. Standardized testing is not a way to measure student growth and performance. If you rely on it, it’s erroneous

@LockportEducat1 @PolicyEngineer Education outcomes have been declining in NYS for a decade despite all time highs in spending. NY now ranks behind Mississippi in outcomes according to NAEP.

Little-known fact: NYS has about 10,000 state & local public employees who make >$250,000/year. A growing share are Tier 6, meaning they contribute to their pension (unlike Tier 4 folks). They want to "Fix Tier 6" because they would immediately pocket $7,500/year! #progressive

@PolicyEngineer @ForwardSaratoga What’s the cost of an educated society? Pedophile President wants to eliminate taxes. Education is priceless.

@LockportEducat1 @ForwardSaratoga It's ok. Just tell us how much of a property tax increase is justified to solely improve pension benefits. Above or below 5 percent?

@ForwardSaratoga @PolicyEngineer I don’t have a number and I’m not going to manufacture one. The legislature comptroller and governor can do the math. I’ll trust their judgment. You are none of these entities

@LockportEducat1 @PolicyEngineer It’s alarming that you won’t give us a number. What are you trying to hide?

@ForwardSaratoga @PolicyEngineer Unions are looking for a full repeal in 1 year. Unions are looking to make small changes over time to be equitable to tier 4

@LockportEducat1 @PolicyEngineer What’s the total amount if the unions win full repeal of Tier 5 & 6?

@ForwardSaratoga @PolicyEngineer The amount is in flux, if NYS will tax the ultra rich, it’ll be far less

@LockportEducat1 @PolicyEngineer Tell us how much it’s going to cost. What’s the number?

@PolicyEngineer @nysut @shawnhaley33 @LockportEducat1 Tax the ultra wealthy and rich. Tax offshore accounts from individuals making millions in NYS while those working with the future generation try and decide whether they pay bills, buy gas or afford groceries. NYS government got themselves into this mess and can get out of it.

Today, NYSUT President @MelindaJPerson released a statement in response to a coalition of legislators, local government leaders, educators, nurses, firefighters, and public-sector employers sounding the alarm and saying #FixTier6! Learn more: nysut.org/news/2026/marc…

I stand with NYSUT! It's time for New York to #FixTier6. Enough with “it costs too much.” This was done by Angry Andrew and is punishing the future of our state. This isn’t just about teaching, it’s about ALL OF US! 📢 @2onyoursidewx, @wkbw, @news4buffalo, @thebuffalonews 📢

BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 The New York Times has confirmed that most of the 13 US bases in the Middle East have been destroyed and empty. Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage, according to the NYT.

In my community, I see the effects of our broken pension system every single day. The cost of inaction is clear: fewer workers, fewer services, and communities left without the teachers, nurses, and first responders they need. New York must #FixTier6. @wetm

It’s 6pm. Here’s a reminder that.. We. Need. To. Fix. Tier. 6. There are approximately 780,000 public employees in New York. I am one of them. I see the impact of our broken pension system every day in my community and that's why I am calling on New York to #FixTier6.

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Support the UFT’s legislative priorities. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/vote-n…

If New York wants more talented young people to look at a career in public service, they need to #FixTier6.
