Here in the Constitution State, we get $54.75 for every subvarsity game, junior varsity, freshman, and middle school. And, according to our contract with the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, our state high school sports governing body, we get an automatic raise every year equal to the average statewide salary increase negotiated by teachers. So if Connecticut teachers get a 3% salary increase, average from town to town, next year, then so do we. No more yearly negotiating with the CIAC over game fees. This saves a lot of time. I hope that the teachers in every town that are negotiating a new contract for next year get a big fat raise, except, of course, for my town, where I pay my property taxes, and no longer have kids in the local school system, they're all in graduate school. Not in my backyard.
