Taxpayer-Funded Credit Cards for Teachers?
Doug Ford is proposing to give Ontario teachers taxpayer-funded purchasing cards to buy classroom supplies.
According to the Ontario government, there are 128,430 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers in publicly funded schools.
Meanwhile, the Ontario College of Teachers reports 228,951 registered members.
Ford says the purchasing cards would let teachers buy items such as paper, pens, and other supplies because school boards are “too busy wasting the money.”
This is a big proposal, in both scale and cost.
What do you think?
Is giving a taxpayer-funded credit card to every one of Ontario’s 128,000+ teachers a good idea?
Is this fiscal responsibility?
At the same time, the Ontario PCs are defending their decision to pay their hand-picked school board “supervisors” $350,000 a year. That’s more than the Prime Minister’s salary, let alone the average superintendent’s.
If the Ontario PC government is committed to cracking down on fiscal mismanagement, why are they creating their own class of overpaid bureaucrats to run school boards they took over?
The Ontario PCs seem happy to spend more than the Liberals before them.
The New Blue Party will continue to hold Ontario’s political establishment accountable and fight for true blue principles: efficiency, transparency, and respect for taxpayers.
