It’s amusing that teachers are “speaking on real life happenings” about the taxes withheld from their bonus.  Republican lawmakers have done everything in their power to reduce educators’ tax burden, much to the dismay of Democrats, the NC Association of Educators, and public school advocacy organizations.
