Mr. Tillis, is that you? You have to be kidding. Right?

Tillis is a republican

"Produce, and you will be rewarded too."
State employees are rewarded for high quality work. They get a certificate from the state. Yea, a piece of paper. I'm sure they would rather have $30,000 pieces of paper.

Found out today how MUCH his raises were for. Turns out, one of his raises is almost my entire salary for a year as a high school teacher. Just makes me sick!

Todd2371, I am with you on this one! I am another registered Republican who is totally disgusted with these jerks.

Absurd comment. "Merit pay"? $30,000 raise after 6 months or less or employment? Come on.

After learning my current position will be cut due to budget reductions, I'm so glad that my $26,000 a year can go to give one member of his staff a pay raise they don't deserve while I go to the unemployment office. Thanks Tillis!

I think that's sort of a prerequisite to join the party isn't it?

If you have measurable standards, use them to evaluate how successful you are educating students, and your results demonstrate students are learning (showing growth)--- you should be rewarded. Inflating graduation rates does not count as growth. Set standards and meet them. NC has done neither.
Take a cue from NCCU--- they now have raised the bar! Students must maintain a 1.9 GPA starting next year to stay in school. This was the last year you could graduate from Central with a 1.6 GPA.
Well, maybe that's not the best example.

He scares me.

LOL. That is one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Teachers and state employees haven't had raises in years, so you are implying that NO teacher and NO state employee has done anything in that time?

Sickening.

Thank you N & O for bringing this information to light. As we watch the educational system of North Carolina getting ravaged by these budget cuts, I keep wondering whether everyone is sacrificing to get through these tough times, as the Republican politicians say -- clearly, they meant everyone . . .but themselves!

Most of the comments are so one sided and stuck in the left verses right, Republican verses Democrat paradigm. Why can't we see that government IS the problem, NOT the solution, no matter which side is in control or doing the corruption today?

Mr. Tillis is rewarding his staff for achieving historic results on the
budget. It is called merit pay. Bravo! Teachers, state employees,
and other public sector folks should be thrilled. Produce, and you will
be rewarded too. Action conquers fear. You can do it if you try!

jberkley17 - I would prefer to send my kid to a public school so he
won't learn how to speak for himself, be able to add or subtract without
a calculator, or balance a checkbook. I would prefer he be
indoctrinated by the government's version of history instead of the
actual version. I pray that he be conditioned to believe that
governments know and do everything better than any private company ever
could.Read more: http://www.newsobserver.com/20...

Funny how the ones who campaign so adamantly against such are the first ones to change when they get elected. It must be like those near-death experiences where people claim to have seen grannie. "I think I saw grannie. She was telling me to hand out some length-of-service raises."
